New Designed Technology-Based Textbook of Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA)

Abstract

BIPA learning for academic purposes for Chinese students has been going quite well so far. The implementation of this program has not been optimal, one of which is due to the absence of teaching materials that are ready to be used. Teaching materials are one of the components that determine the success of learning. The absence of adequate teaching materials has caused BIPA learning for academic purposes to seem sporadic. Moreover, Chinese students have language and cultural characteristics that are different from students in other programs, so Chinese students cannot make use of teaching materials commonly used in other BIPA programs. For this reason, an effort is needed to develop BIPA learning teaching materials for academic purposes. The model for developing teaching materials used in this study is the Borg and Gall model. The results of this study are in the form of teaching materials BIPA for academic purposes for intermediate-level learners. The results showed that the developed teaching materials were feasible to be implemented with an average score of 91.25.
