Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of an intensive Indonesian language program for international students at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. The program aims to enhance communicative competence, academic literacy, and intercultural adaptation among foreign learners enrolled in various study programs. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures, this study involved 32 international students participating in a 12-week intensive Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) program. Data were collected through language proficiency tests, self-efficacy questionnaires, and classroom observations. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills after program completion. Additionally, students reported higher academic confidence and improved sociocultural adjustment. The results suggest that structured intensive instruction combined with contextual and intercultural approaches effectively supports foreign students’ linguistic and academic integration. The study recommends strengthening curriculum design, digital learning integration, and continuous evaluation to sustain program quality.

Abstract

Several studies have acknowledged that using E-Modules can support the thinking and creative abilities of students to be able to learn independently and can also repeat lessons independently whenever students want. The e-module provided also contains about the sustainability of the Minangkabau custom that almost no one plays the traditional instrument, namely the rice stalk pupuik. Where is the rice stem fertilizer originating from the Payukumbuh, Lima Puluh Kota, West Sumatra. This one musical instrument is a musical instrument that has many characteristics in playing it, which has many meanings for each playing technique. This rice stem pupuik musical instrument was explained in the material of mechanical waves and sound waves from class 12 material. The game technique owned by the rice stem pupuik or the shrill sound emitted by the rice stem pupuik, was explained in learning about sound waves. From this, students will be made to think critically and creatively in finding out about the lessons of mechanical waves and sound waves which are owned by the rice stem pupuik musical instrument. The products provided in this study are very different from the E-Modules that have been made by previous researchers, namely the E-modules integrated with local wisdom of rice stem fertilizers originating from West Sumatra.
