<![CDATA[Studies on Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing (BIPA) instructional materials have predominantly focused on beginner-level textbooks, leaving intermediate-level materials underexamined. This study evaluates Sahabatku Indonesia untuk Pelajar BIPA 3 across three dimensions: language aspect, material presentation, and graphical aspect. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with two BIPA teachers and two foreign students, and document analysis guided by Ministerial Regulation Number 8 of 2016. The findings reveal that although the textbook provides clearly stated learning objectives and a consistent unit structure, it presents several pedagogical limitations, including overly formal and complex sentence structures, inconsistent material sequencing, limited grammar-thematic integration, outdated content, and dense visual layouts with insufficient contextual support. The study concludes that the textbook partially supports intermediate-level BIPA learning but requires improvement in linguistic accessibility, thematic relevance, material progression, and visual presentation. These findings contribute to the development of more pedagogically appropriate and learner-centered BIPA instructional materials.]]>
