Abstract
Efforts to enhance the global recognition of the Indonesian language involve activities that need to be executed in a quantifiable, strategic, and sustainable manner. Internationalizing Indonesian, aside from being legally mandated, reflects Indonesia's response to the age of globalization and economic openness, aimed at providing opportunities for foreigners to engage with Indonesian language and culture. One of the initiatives taken by the Badan Bahasa is dispatching Indonesian for Foreign Speaker (BIPA) teachers to ASEAN nations. In this context, this research seeks to assess the impact of deploying BIPA teachers to ASEAN countries on the internationalization of the Indonesian language. The research employed a survey as its primary tool, with data analyzed using the Rasch Analysis approach and processed using Winstep software. The results indicated an improved status of the Indonesian language in the target countries, as evident in the potential establishment of Indonesian language study programs. Furthermore, the findings also highlighted the increasing use of Indonesian as the medium of communication within the target institutions in these countries.
