In the current era of globalization, ease of access to information and the expansion of scholarship opportunities have facilitated greater mobility among Indonesian students seeking higher education abroad. This phenomenon has contributed to the rise of Indonesian intellectual diasporas, who, while pursuing academic excellence, also serve as cultural ambassadors representing Indonesia on the global stage. Their presence abroad extends beyond academic engagement, encompassing efforts to promote national identity and foster cultural understanding. This study examines the dual role of Indonesian students overseas, focusing on their pursuit of education as well as their contributions to the preservation and promotion of Indonesian cultural identity in international contexts. Expressions of patriotism are frequently demonstrated through the performance and dissemination of traditional arts and cultural practices. By doing so, these students not only maintain a connection to their homeland but also enhance Indonesia’s cultural visibility in diverse academic and social environments.

This research was conducted based on observations made on fifth-grade students, regarding their self-confidence, which still requires stimulation due to a lack of self-confidence.

This research aims to examine the reading comprehension abilities of fourth-grade elementary students. The primary goals are to assess the level of students' comprehension skills, investigate the underlying factors contributing to their difficulties in understanding texts, and develop applicable strategies to address these challenges. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. The participants were four students from the fourth grade. Data were gathered through various techniques, including observation, interviews, testing, and documentation. The findings indicated that students' reading comprehension abilities remained relatively weak. In terms of interpreting the meaning of words and expressions used by the author, students demonstrated performance at a moderate level. However, regarding the ability to understand both explicit and implicit meanings, as well as to draw conclusions from the text, their performance fell into the low or inadequate category. The factors that influence this low ability come from both internal and external factors. To overcome this problem, it is recommended that teachers motivate students more, manage the class more effectively, and apply reading comprehension strategies such as Know, Want, Learn (KWL).
