Web-based Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) Learning to Improve Arabic Students’ Language Skills

Abstract

This study examines the role of web-based learning in Indonesian for foreign speakers (BIPA) learning as an effort to increase the language skills of Arabic Language Education students at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The research departs from the description of the problem observed by the researchers in teaching BIPA to Arabic Language Education students at UPI in the BIPA course. The aims of this research are 1) to know the role of the web in BIPA learning for Arabic students and 2) to investigate the efforts to improve the students' language skills through such learning. This study employed a qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The results showed that the web-based BIPA learning materials were developed to assist the students' learning process in a more engaging and interactive way. The results also revealed that the contents were formulated in various forms to increase the students' language skills because of the development of a website-based BIPA learning model.

Implikasi CEFR Pada Buku Ajar Sahabatku Indonesia Untuk Penutur Bahasa Arab Level 1

“…Buku ini dipilih karena penutur Arab merupakan salah satu kelompok penutur dengan minat belajar bahasa Indonesia yang tinggi (Chamidah et al, 2017). Dengan demikian, BIPA Arab merupakan potensi baru sekaligus tantangan untuk pengembangan materi pembelajaran sesuai dengan kebutuhan (Supriadi & Nurmala, 2022). Penelitian ini diharapkan bermanfaat bagi pengembangan buku ajar agar tetap berkualitas laiknya buku ajar BIPA, khususnya bagi bahan ajar BIPA Arab.…”
