The local wisdom in the metri tradition can be utilized as cultural material for BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing: Indonesian Language for Foreigner) learners. Cultural material in BIPA learning plays an important role in teaching language. By introducing the traditions or cultures of the community, learners will have an easier time understanding the meaning of the language they are learning.
