“…The syllabus is very important in a lesson. Preparing the syllabus thoroughly can make the classroom atmosphere livelier because students are actively involved in learning (Tokatli & Kesli, 2009). The syllabus can be used as a contract, plan or as a means of learning and teaching (Parkes & Harris, 2002).…”

Indonesian is now increasingly in demand to be studied by foreign speakers for various purposes. One of the purposes for foreign speakers to learn Indonesian is related to academic purpose. BIPA learning with academic purposes has different characteristics from BIPA learning in general. This study aims to describe listening learning in the BIPA program for academic purposes at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta based on the aspects of learning preparation and implementation which includes learning activities, learning materials, learning media, learning assessments, problems, and solutions in learning. The subject of this research is a lecturer of listening skills in the BIPA program for academic purposes in the class of Yunnan Minzu University, China. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and document study. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data display, and verification. The validity of the research data was carried out using triangulation methods. The results showed that the learning preparation was carried out by making a syllabus and developing learning materials. Listening learning activities were carried out through pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening activities. Listening learning materials tailored the academic needs and adjusted to the speaking skills that learners will learn. The learning media used are handouts, audio, and video that were connected from the laptop to speakers and/or projectors. Learning assessment was carried out at the middle of the semester and the end of the semester. Problems encountered in learning include a technical problem and a non-technical problem. To overcome technical problems, the lecturer reported this to the program manager for improvement, while for non-technical problems, the lecturer was proactive to ask the students. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the planning and implementation of listening learning in the BIPA program for academic purposes is following the principles of learning listening in a second or foreign language. However, some things need attention related to technical and non-technical problems that occur so that they can be minimized.

“…Though Dickinson's study is not focused on the syllabus, it does validate the importance of building personal connections with students, particularly in online courses, through the use of positive tone. Putting forth a supportive and accessible tone in one's syllabus enhances student performance in the course (Tokatli & Kesli, 2009).…”

This study examines the impact of changing the tone of a traditional syllabus to make it more learner-centered. The researchers examined a required wellness course that serves over 8,000 students per year at a large, four-year public university in the southern United States. Concerns about student progression through programs and graduation rates had prompted a number of faculty to look into ways to increase these numbers. The investigators changed the tone of the syllabus to determine if a more learner-centered document would increase the chances of students interacting with the syllabus and, in turn, increase the success rates in the course. The results indicated that few students spent sufficient time reading the syllabus to take in all the information regardless of the tone used within the document, so the tone, by itself, did not impact student success.

“…It should also be noted that many subject syllabi are too brief and simplified. On the contrary, there are others that are very dense, with too much information and even with contents that are not appropriate for a subject syllabus (Tokatli and Kesli, 2009).…”

The syllabus of a subject, that is part of the curriculum of a bachelor’s or master's degree, must provide the student with information about all the fundamental aspects of the subject. It is a piece of written document or multimedia file encompassing all topics and concepts that will be covered in a certain subject. The objective of the syllabus is to put the subject and the information related to it in context by means of clear, organized, concise and summarized style. It should not be limited only to the subject matter. Instead, it is advisable to provide basic course information such as the number of credits; course content; transversal competences, skills and attitudes that are relevant for access to work and further learning; faculty staff; assessment and evaluation elements; calendar; venues, and facilities location; lesson plans and bibliography. Moreover, information about the activities to be carried out and whether they are done individually or in groups. Another important point is the evaluation of students and how to assess their achievements in terms of the level of acquisition of knowledge and skills planned in the subject. It helps students to meet the desired subject objectives and to motivate them. In short, it will lay the foundations so that at least contents, methods and techniques of the discipline that supports the subject can be taught and so that students can acquire the knowledge and competences committed.
