Abstract

This study explores how integrating cross-cultural communication strategies with technology can revolutionize the teaching of Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) and enhance its role as a tool for cultural diplomacy. The research analyzes the experiences of BIPA teachers and learners at two universities in West Sumatra involved in the Darmasiswa program. Data were collected through semistructured interviews, direct observations, and document analysis to uncover strategies for addressing cross-cultural challenges and the role of technology in improving learning effectiveness. The findings reveal that combining cross-cultural communication with technology-based media, such as interactive videos, gamification applications, and online learning platforms, enhances cultural understanding and learning motivation. Practical simulations, such as role-playing and cultural discussions, enable learners to grasp Indonesia's socio-cultural context more deeply. However, limitations in technological literacy among teachers and learners, as well as cultural gaps, remain significant challenges. This study highlights the need for comprehensive training for teachers to maximize the potential of technology in education and the development of inclusive, culturally oriented teaching materials. These strategies improve learners' language competencies and strengthen cross-cultural relationships, positioning BIPA as an effective instrument for Indonesia's cultural diplomacy in the digital era.

Abstract

The globalization of the Indonesian language through the Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) programme has evolved from a simple linguistic exercise into a sophisticated instrument of cultural diplomacy and international education. As Indonesia's economic and cultural influence grows, more and more international students, researchers, and professionals want to learn the language. The pedagogical challenge in BIPA has transitioned from the acquisition of grammar and vocabulary to the cultivation of sociopragmatic competence. Research highlights a critical realization: the primary obstacle for international students is not necessarily cognitive or linguistic capacity but a lack of understanding regarding the cultural discourse that governs thinking and speaking within the Indonesian context. This suggests that language and culture are inextricably linked, forming a singular nexus where communication only becomes meaningful through the lens of cultural orientation
