Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) Module Development Based Local Culture for Beginner

Based on observations made by the writers, the fact that occurs in the field is that the number of Indonesian Language modules for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) is still small in number. This has become the problem underlying this research. So to solve this problem we try to develop modules as teaching material. The module was developed using a Research and Development (R&D) study and the target of this module is beginner-level foreign speakers. Information obtained from the study are: (1) that the desired module for BIPA teachers and students is in the form of modules which contain material that uses language that is simple, easy to understand and in accordance with the beginner's ability level, (2) can provide motivation to learn, (3) ) and each chapter contains four aspects of language skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing), (4) as well as assessment that present questions related to grammar in each chapter, (5) modules are presented using self-instructional principles and systematic, (6) graphs are presented using the principles of consistency and relevance. We recommend that further research be conducted to examines the effectiveness of the Indonesian language module for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) at the beginner level, so that the modules made can be used optimally in order to provide maximum results on learning BIPA.
