Abstract

The Society 5.0 era demands an educational transformation that places Indonesian language teachers as strategic actors in creating an adaptive, reflective, and technology-based learning ecosystem. In this context, teacher competency development is no longer focused solely on technical skills, but must include digital literacy, pedagogical agency, and scientific engagement. This study aims to explore and synthesize various models of Indonesian language teacher competency development based on five main scientific articles relevant to the Society 5.0 era. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were analyzed using thematic matrix-based content techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of the study identified five dominant models: (1) Adaptive Professionalism Model (Tran Minh), (2) Contextual Digital Competency Model (Grisma et al.), (3) Sustainable Digital Transformation Model (Vorotnykova), (4) Reflective and Collaborative Agency Model (Averina & Kuswandono), and (5) Academic Engagement-Based Development Model (Tias & Tongjean). Each model has contextual advantages, but has not fully answered the complexity of the challenges of the Society 5.0 era in an integrated manner. Therefore, a hybrid approach that integrates the strengths of the five models is recommended as the most effective strategy. Recommendations include: context-based training in the field, strengthening professional reflection, utilizing adaptive technology, and ongoing institutional support. These findings contribute to research on strategies for developing Indonesian language teacher competencies that are more relevant, holistic, and applicable in facing the digital-humanistic era of Society 5.0.
