This study explored the lived experiences of a Tajikistani international student navigating literacy, language, and cultural integration while studying in Indonesia, employing a qualitative narrative approach. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and documentation. The study examined the challenges and opportunities faced in adapting to a new educational setting. Key findings revealed the participant’s evolution in literacy practices, beginning with no proficiency in Indonesian and progressing through informal learning and daily interactions. Language proficiency significantly influenced academic success and social integration, with the shift from anticipated English instruction to Indonesian presenting unforeseen challenges. Cultural navigation emerged as another critical dimension, requiring adjustments to Indonesia's diverse norms, values, and academic practices. The study highlighted the interplay of resilience, cultural intelligence, and social networks in fostering adaptation and building a sense of belonging. However, institutional gaps, such as limited language preparation and unclear communication about academic requirements, posed additional barriers. This research underscored the complexities of international student mobility in Indonesian contexts, offering practical recommendations for educational institutions. Comprehensive support systems, including tailored language programs, cultural orientation, and enhanced academic resources, were identified as vital for addressing the unique needs of international students. By fostering inclusivity and cross-cultural engagement, institutions could enrich the experiences of international students and contribute to a more interconnected global education landscape. This study provided valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and institutions aiming to improve the integration and support of international students in diverse cultural and academic environments.
