This study aims to determine the role of Indonesian language teachers in improving students’ literacy culture at school. This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of Indonesian language teachers and students. The results showed that Indonesian language teachers have an important role as facilitators, motivators, and mentors in improving students’ literacy culture. Teachers implemented various literacy-based learning strategies, such as reading activities before lessons begin, group discussions, reading comprehension activities, writing assignments, and the use of digital media in the learning process. These strategies were able to increase students’ reading interest, critical thinking skills, and communication abilities. However, the implementation of literacy culture still faces several obstacles, such as low reading interest among students, the influence of social media, and limited literacy facilities at school.
