Abstract: This study explores the language shift occurring among teenagers in Muarasipongi, North Sumatra, focusing on the educational context. As globalization and national education policies promote the use of Indonesian, local languages face marginalization. Through qualitative fieldwork and sociolinguistic analysis, this research identifies the factors contributing to the decline of Muarasipongi language use among youth, particularly in school settings. Findings reveal that institutional language practices, peer influence, and digital media contribute significantly to the shift. The study recommends culturally responsive education models to preserve linguistic heritage while supporting academic achievement.
