<![CDATA[The growing need for culturally responsive language education requires assessment practices that move beyond linguistic accuracy toward meaningful intercultural communication. In BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing), Indonesian local wisdom provides an important contextual resource for connecting language learning with cultural understanding. This study examines a local wisdom- based assessment approach that integrates authentic listening and intercultural communication to strengthen learners’ intercultural communicative competence and support cultural resilience. A quantitative research design is employed using a structured questionnaire administered to BIPA learners with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The study examines five constructs: local wisdom integration, authentic listening assessment, intercultural communication engagement, cultural awareness as a mediating variable, and intercultural communicative competence as the outcome variable. Data are analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess direct relationships and the mediating role of cultural awareness. The proposed model positions local wisdom as an assessment resource that contextualizes listening and communication practices. The study contributes an empirically grounded framework for culturally responsive BIPA assessment and provides implications for developing language learning that strengthens intercultural understanding, communicative competence, and cultural resilience.]]>
