Abstract

This research examines the use of bilingualism in the daily lives of students at UMNU Kebumen. The study aims to explore the extent of bilingual language mastery among students and the factors influencing their ability to speak two or more languages. This research is using qualitative methods, using interviews via Google Forms with 12 respondents mastered Indonesian and Javanese, while some also spoke English (6 respondents), Arabic (3 respondents), Bugis (1 respondent), and Japanese (1 respondent). The results show that bilingualism not only facilitates communication and cultural understanding but also enhances academic and professional opportunities. The study concludes that bilingualism plays a significant role in social and educational context, helping students adapt to different environments and broadening their social networks.
