Abstract

This research is motivated by the presence of international students from various countries with diverse cultures and varying language abilities compared to Indonesia. International students are those who come from outside Indonesia, meaning that Indonesian is not their first language. International BIPA students aim to master the four language skills, one of which is speaking. Therefore, international students need to have the ability to speak effectively and correctly in verbal or oral communication. The research aims to analyze the forms of grammar and vocabulary usage in the verbal communication of international BIPA students at Andalas University. This research is qualitative in nature with a descriptive methodology. The research respondents are international students currently engaged in learning activities at Andalas University. Data collection is conducted through observation, interviews, recording techniques, and note-taking. Data analysis is carried out using the interactive data analysis method developed by Miles and Huberman. Based on the data analysis and discussion, it is found that international BIPA students can understand and use grammar and vocabulary effectively in oral communication. They can comprehend and use grammar and vocabulary in spoken language, such as personal pronoun usage, noun phrase structure, negation words, simple sentence construction, question word usage, demonstrative pronoun usage, the verb "ada" (there is/there are), preposition usage, affix verbs, adverb usage, conjunction usage, expressions and greetings, and vocabulary related to general topics. However, international students face difficulties in terms of grammar, particularly regarding the accurate pronunciation and sound pronunciation when communicating verbally. These challenges arise from cultural and language differences with their home countries. In this research, two forms of grammar usage were not found in spoken communication: the use of gradable adjectives and the use of position and location. Keywords: International BIPA students, Verbal communication skills, Grammar and vocabulary usage and Language challenges and cultural differences

Abstract

This study explores how international students perceive Indonesian culture while participating in the Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) program at Padang State University. Framed within Cross-Cultural Understanding (CCU), the study investigates how students’ cultural backgrounds, prior experiences, and exposure to cultural content in language teaching shape their engagement and motivation. Using a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The findings show that most students positively perceive Indonesian culture, particularly appreciating traditions, hospitality, and food. However, challenges arise with abstract cultural values, such as indirect communication, hierarchical relationships, and concepts of politeness, which sometimes contrast with students' native cultural norms. Students from Southeast Asian countries reported smoother cultural adjustment than those from Western countries. Furthermore, students favored experiential learning—such as field trips, cooking classes, and cultural performances—over theoretical cultural instruction. These insights reinforce the importance of integrating cultural content into language instruction but also highlight the need for culturally responsive pedagogy that considers learners’ diverse cultural frameworks. The study suggests incorporating CCU models (e.g., Byram's ICC Bennett's DMIS) to support intercultural reflection, identity development, and deeper engagement. Future research should explore the longitudinal impacts of cultural learning and implement structured tools to evaluate intercultural competence development.

Abstract

Riau Malay is a vital part of Indonesia’s oral heritage, reflecting the socio-cultural identity of the Riau Malay community. In everyday interactions, Riau Malays frequently use allusive language as a means of politeness and as a reflection of cultural values. These linguistic expressions facilitate respectful communication and serve as a tool for character education. This study aims to redefine the role of Riau Malay figurative expressions as more than just linguistic tools, but as fundamental components of politeness and ethical communication. Additionally, it examines how these linguistic traditions can be preserved and integrated into higher education to foster character development, particularly in instilling values such as integrity, empathy, and respect among university students. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to analyze figurative expressions in Riau Malay. Data collection included documentation of traditional linguistic expressions and interviews with cultural experts and educators. The analysis focused on the role of allusions in social interactions and their contribution to shaping ethical behavior. Findings reveal that Riau Malay allusions are deeply embedded in cultural communication, serving as markers of politeness and carriers of moral and ethical values. These expressions reflect virtues such as humility, respect, and social harmony, reinforcing positive character traits among speakers. Incorporating Riau Malay figurative language into higher education has shown potential in strengthening students' cultural identity and ethical behavior. Interviews with educators revealed that students who engage with Malay linguistic traditions develop a deeper appreciation for local wisdom and improve their interpersonal communication skills. This study underscores the importance of preserving and promoting Riau Malay allusions as a means of fostering character education in higher learning institutions. By integrating these expressions into academic discourse, universities contribute to cultural heritage preservation while instilling ethical values in students. Future research should explore the long-term impact of structured linguistic programs on moral development and identify further ways to integrate traditional linguistic wisdom into modern educational frameworks.
