This article discusses the influence and challenges of diglossia in language learning on students' academic achievement. Diglossia is expressed as a phenomenon of stable language use because each language is given the freedom to carry out its social functions proportionally. As a phenomenon of using two different language variants in everyday life, of course, diglossia has a significant impact on the educational process. However, people usually do not view diglossia as a problem. This actually makes diglossia a very noteworthy thing, especially in the context of language learning, diglossia creates a gap between the standard language taught in schools and the non-standard language used in daily interactions. This article examines the key challenges faced in addressing the impact of diglossia in language learning, including curriculum mismatches, perceptions of language values, and communication limitations. Efforts to address these challenges require a holistic approach that pays attention to both language variants, strengthens linguistic equity, and promotes a deep understanding of students' language and culture. By understanding the impact and challenges of diglossia in language learning, effective strategies can be devised to improve students' academic achievement and ensure equal access to education for all.

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five (for babies under five years of age) which is caused by chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age. Stunting causes children to not reach their maximum height and disrupts brain development which will affect cognitive abilities. One in five children in Indonesia is reported to be stunted. The long-term impact of stunting will cause children to have difficulty receiving lessons, decreased learning achievement, decreased work productivity, low income and minimal participation in community activities. The cause of stunting in toddlers is often the result of many factors related to poverty, including poor diet, health, hygiene and the environment. The current effort being made is to provide education about high protein foods. The education provided aims to enable mothers of toddlers to play a role in providing a healthy, high-protein menu so that it can prevent the incidence of stunting. This community service is carried out with the aim of increasing the knowledge and understanding of mothers of toddlers regarding providing MP-ASI high in animal protein to prevent stunting. It is hoped that after participating in this service activity, mothers of toddlers will be able to provide MP-ASI high in animal protein for toddlers to support their children's height growth.      

This study examines the relationship between self regulated learning (SRL) strategies and academic motivation among students engaged in online language education, with a particular focus on how cultural diversity influences these factors. SRL strategies, such as goal setting, self monitoring, and time management, are crucial for maintaining motivation and improving learning outcomes, especially in online settings that require high levels of student autonomy. The study found a strong positive correlation between intrinsic motivation and the use of SRL strategies. Students who were intrinsically motivated to learn demonstrated better use of SRL strategies, leading to improved academic performance. Furthermore, the study explored how cultural diversity impacted the application of SRL strategies, revealing that students from collectivist cultures often emphasized collaboration and effort, while students from individualistic cultures focused more on autonomy and personal achievement. These cultural differences influenced how students engaged with SRL strategies and maintained their motivation throughout their online language courses. The findings underscore the importance of considering cultural diversity when designing online language education programs. Culturally responsive teaching practices that acknowledge students' cultural backgrounds can enhance motivation, foster better use of SRL strategies, and improve learning outcomes in diverse online classrooms. The study highlights the need for further research that explores the interaction between different cultural groups, expands sample sizes, and investigates other motivational factors, such as self efficacy and achievement goals, to develop more effective and inclusive online language education strategies.  

Motivation is one of the factors that influences student success in the learning process. Students will get the desired results in learning if within them there is a desire to learn. Motivation can function as a driving force for achieving good results. Students will carry out an activity because there is motivation within them. Having high motivation in learning will achieve optimal results. To achieve optimal results, teachers must give maximum effort and attention to students, especially for students whose achievements are lagging behind other students, so that these students are more motivated in participating in teaching and learning process activities so that what they want can be achieved optimally so that achieve the desired goals, both in the field of education and other goals. By having high motivation, students can develop activities and initiative, can direct and maintain persistence in carrying out learning activities to achieve the desired educational goals.
