Abstract
Foreign language learning is related to the culture of the target language. Understanding Indonesian culture has an impact on the behavior of BIPA students when communicating with native Indonesian speakers and also strengthens linguistic knowledge. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. This study aims to describe implementing intercultural learning strategies for BIPA students. The study results show that integrating intercultural understanding in class results can enhance BIPA students' speaking and writing capacities. In this study, BIPA students from Japan provided a form of intercultural learning in class. Cultural topics introduced in class learning are the culture and habits of the Indonesian people. BIPA students who fully understand Indonesian culture can provide statements, responses, and comments about the learning context. Therefore, they will find it easier to adapt while staying in Indonesia.
