Pada 27–28 Juni 2024 lalu Koordinator BIPA INCULS, Dr. Wira Kurniawati, M.A. dan seorang dosen INCULS, Hanny Luvytasari, S.S., S.I.P., M.A., berkesempatan untuk memaparkan penelitian mereka dalam Forum Ilmiah Ke-BIPA-an di Hotel Prime Plaza, Sanur, Denpasar.

Dr. Wira Kurniawati, M.A. dengan judul makalah “Memperkenalkan Jamu sebagai Produk Budaya dan Kearifan Lokal Indonesia melalui Pembelajaran BIPA” memaparkan bahwa proses diplomasi budaya melalui pembelajaran BIPA bisa dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan materi ajar berupa obat tradisional Indonesia yang telah dimanfaatkan dari generasi ke generasi yaitu jamu. Tulisan yang dipaparkan beliau bertujuan untuk deskripsi pengembangan materi ajar BIPA yang memiliki dasar budaya dan kearifan local, khususnya jamu. Penelitian dilakukan melalui studi pustaka, kuesioner, langkah pengembangan materi ajar menurut Brown, serta praktik pembelajaran di kelas. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa jamu dapat menjadi salah satu cara yang strategis dan menarik untuk memperkenalkan budaya dan produk kearifan lokal Indonesia kepada pemelajar BIPA. Selain itu, tema jamu dapat menjadi materi yang cocok dengan berbagai topik yang relevan sesuai level para pemelajar baik dalam pengajaran keterampilan reseptif (Menyimak dan Membaca) maupun keterampilan produktif (Berbicara dan Menulis).

Tulisan karya beliau ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan strategi pembelajaran tata bahasa BIPA melalui latihan integratif berkonteks budaya. Penelitian dilakukan melalui pengamatan, kuesioner, dan wawancara. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa pemelajar BIPA lebih tertantang untuk mengerjakan Latihan tata Bahasa integratif menggunakan teks berkonteks budaya. hal tersebut dapat membantu peningkatan pemahaman pemelajar BIPA mengenai pengayaan materi.

Nasi Tumpeng is a typical Indonesian dish that contains deep meaning in local culture and traditions. Shaped like a mountain, Nasi Tumpeng symbolizes prosperity, success and harmony, with the yellow color of turmeric symbolizing wealth. Apart from being delicious, the manufacturing process can also foster the values of togetherness and harmony. With its rich taste and symbolic meaning, Nasi Tumpeng is not only a dish, but also a reflection of Indonesia’s rich culture that is worth preserving.

In the Advanced Level KNB Program Listening class, lecturer Ilfat integrated cultural material on the topic of Nasi Tumpeng interactively by inviting students to compete in arranging Nasi Tumpeng Mini. That way, apart from learning language skills, students also get to know Nasi Tumpeng, and directly go through the process of making and arranging it. Through this method, students can feel the excitement and sense of togetherness that is felt in making Nasi Tumpeng.

As a continuation of INCULS in globalizing the Indonesian language through BIPA teaching, on Friday, March 1 2024 INCULS held an Indonesian culture class for seven foreign students studying at INCULS. One of the Indonesian cultures they studied was karawitan so they gained new experience and knowledge. Karawitan culture is a traditional art that is famous in Java and is played by beating (hitting) the gamelan with the slendro and pelog scales. The word karawitan comes from Javanese, namely the word ‘rawit’ which means smooth and soft.

Apart from learning culture, they of course also learn Indonesian in class with native Indonesian lecturers and outside the classroom with UGM student tutors. During the language learning process, they acquire six Indonesian language skills, namely listening, speaking, writing, reading, vocabulary, and grammar skills. Apart from that, they also had the opportunity to talk directly with Indonesian people, such as when shopping in Malioboro.

The seven foreign students who are studying Indonesian language and culture at INCULS are students from Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU), Japan. They took part in an intensive program at INCULS for three weeks, February 19 – March 8 2024. Thank you for trusting INCULS UGM to learn Indonesian language and culture. See you next time!
