Learning Indonesian language at Al-Syifa Boarding School by Indonesian Students who have been lived and studied abroad, (Indonesian Back Home Students) IBHSs, is a crucial problem. The purpose of this study was a threefold: (a) to explore difficulties in learning Indonesian language by students in the classroom focusing on linguistic challenges, (b) to determine and classify these challenges to help teachers tackle the problem, and (c) to come up with critical suggestions for the school to overcome the problem. The participants in this study are of two sources: (1) all the Indonesian students who have been lived and studied abroad who are currently studying at Al-Syifa Boarding School in the seventh and tenth grades; (2) teachers and staff at the school. The results showed that there are different linguistic challenges in learning Indonesian language by IBHSs that can only be solved through intensive courses of BIBA.
