Abstract

This article explores the implementation and pedagogical implications of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in the context of Bahasa Indonesia instruction for foreign learners. As global interest in learning Bahasa Indonesia continues to grow, particularly through programs such as BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing), there is a pressing need to adopt instructional methods that not only promote communicative competence but also foster learner autonomy and engagement. TBLT has gained prominence in second and foreign language education due to its emphasis on authentic language use, real-world tasks, and learner-centered approaches. This study investigates the effectiveness of TBLT in enhancing the linguistic and pragmatic abilities of foreign learners in Indonesian language classrooms through a review of relevant literature and selected case studies from BIPA programs. The analysis reveals that TBLT facilitates more meaningful learning experiences by aligning classroom activities with learners' communicative needs. It encourages interaction, negotiation of meaning, and contextual language practice, which are essential for language acquisition. However, the study also identifies challenges, such as designing culturally appropriate tasks, assessing learner performance, and training instructors in task-based methodology. Recommendations are offered for curriculum development, teacher training, and future research to support the effective integration of TBLT in BIPA curricula. This article contributes to the growing body of research on innovative language teaching methodologies in Southeast Asia and highlights the potential of TBLT to transform Indonesian language education for foreign learners into a more dynamic, responsive, and outcomes-driven process.

Abstract

Teaching Bahasa Indonesia to non-native speakers has gained increasing significance in the context of global mobility, academic exchange, and cross-cultural communication. As Indonesia’s geopolitical and economic influence grows, so too does the demand for high-quality language instruction that not only develops linguistic competence but also fosters intercultural understanding. This article examines the strategies, challenges, and innovations involved in teaching Bahasa Indonesia as a foreign language, with an emphasis on pedagogical approaches that are adaptable to diverse learner profiles. Drawing on a review of current literature and practical case studies, the study identifies communicative, task-based, and culture-integrated methodologies as effective strategies to enhance learner engagement and retention. Key challenges include limited teaching resources tailored for non-native learners, variations in learners’ first-language backgrounds, and the need to balance linguistic accuracy with communicative fluency. Furthermore, the research explores recent innovations such as digital language learning platforms, gamification, and immersive cultural experiences that have transformed instructional practices. By integrating technology with traditional pedagogy, educators can create dynamic and learner-centered environments that promote both linguistic proficiency and cultural competence. The article concludes that effective Bahasa Indonesia instruction for non-native speakers requires a holistic approach that aligns curriculum design, teaching methods, and assessment practices with learner needs, while leveraging technological advancements and cultural immersion opportunities. This study provides valuable insights for language educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers, contributing to the advancement of Indonesian language education in both domestic and international contexts.

Abstract

The growth of community-based tourism (CBT) in Indonesia has positioned homestays as a strategic avenue for rural economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism development. In Bangli, Bali particularly in renowned tourism villages such as Pengelipuran and Undisan—homestays serve as key interfaces between local communities and international visitors. As English functions as the global lingua franca of tourism, oral English communication skills are essential for ensuring high-quality guest experiences. However, many homestay staff possess limited formal English training, raising concerns about their capacity to meet the communicative demands of international tourism. This study aims to assess the oral English communicative competence of Bangli homestay staff using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) as the evaluative benchmark. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of communicative competence and integrating insights from tourism communication research, the study adopts a task-based assessment approach to measure performance in practical contexts such as facility descriptions, cultural explanations, and guest interaction scenarios. The findings are expected to provide a nuanced profile of staff competencies across CEFR levels, identify specific linguistic and strategic strengths and weaknesses, and inform targeted training interventions. By aligning language development initiatives with the operational realities of CBT settings, the study seeks to enhance service quality, strengthen cultural exchange, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of homestay programs in rural Bali. This research further adds to the academic discourse on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in tourism, particularly within developing country contexts.

Abstract

Interfaith conflict resolution is a field of study concerned with practices that create harmony between different religious groups during tense atmospheres. This paper focuses on communication cues of such practices that have facilitated interfaith relations in India. It uses historical case analysis to relook at peacebuilding efforts through the edicts of Emperor Ashoka, customs of the Middle Ages like the Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb, contemporary mohalla (neighbourhood) committees and youth interfaith initiatives. Findings show that the communication practices used in peacebuilding interventions, such as, creating safe spaces for the discussion of theological dialogue through debates, among others, become important reminders of how respect for other religious communities is created through dialogic exchange between those of different faiths. Across the case studies, communicative sentiments such as extending a hand of friendship, establishing direct and open communication, and entering sacred spaces as respectful guests emerge as important cues that create trust and mutual respect. Such exchanges show how dialogue is also seen in gestures and recurrent practices, which make space for grassroots initiatives and pluralism that become larger communicative responses to religious violence. The discussion shows that a system that ties together common moral values, shared cultural customs, inclusive education and channels of communication that debunk rumours is combative to religious animosity and hate speech. Based on such observations, the paper provides a novel approach combining interfaith discussions, collaborative community service initiatives and local peace committees with technology, hence synthesizing lessons from historical and contemporary approaches. The recommendations made in this paper are pertinent for legislators, educators and social studies scholars looking to work towards interfaith harmony.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study centred on examining the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on students’ cognitive development and creative capabilities within higher education. More specifically, the research sought to analyse the relationship between AI usage and the development of key cognitive faculties, such as analytical intelligence, logical reasoning, and creative problem-solving among university students. In undertaking this investigation, the researchers adopted a qualitative methodology, engaging primarily with secondary data sources. By systematically reviewing existing literature—from peer-reviewed scientific journals, scholarly articles, and other reputable academic publications—they were able to construct a comprehensive synthesis of current insights into how students are integrating AI tools into their academic routines and how these tools are perceived in the university setting. The findings of the analysis indicate that AI technologies have a significant, and in many cases positive, impact on students’ data analysis abilities and their comprehension of complex academic content. A noteworthy proportion of students reported that AI-based tools enabled them to deconstruct challenging subject matter more efficiently. This utility appeared to translate into noticeable improvements in their analytical intelligence. Furthermore, AI was highlighted as advantageous for synthesizing disparate pieces of information, thereby equipping students to approach and solve intricate academic problems more effectively. Nevertheless, while these technological benefits are substantial, the study drew attention to an important caveat: the tendency toward over-reliance on AI-driven solutions. For a subset of students, the ease and convenience offered by AI led to a diminished practice of independent problem-solving. In their reliance on automated assistance, some students risked neglecting the active engagement necessary for developing robust critical thinking skills and independent intellectual growth. This over-dependence on technological aids may, in the long term, hinder the cultivation of original thoughts and creative approaches essential at the tertiary level of education.

Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to analyse the layers of symbolism embedded in the Legong dance of Bali. Rather than seeing Legong as simply “traditional dance,” this research investigates its deeper meanings—particularly how gestures, facial expressions, and costume are entwined with cultural myth and identity. The study also seeks to understand how these symbolic forms maintain cultural relevance for Balinese communities in contemporary times. Data collection involved observing Legong performances both live in Bali and through online recordings, ensuring a broad perspective on variations and consistencies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with dancers, instructors, and cultural practitioners, focusing on how symbolism is taught, experienced, and understood. Informal participation in dance workshops provided an insider’s perspective on the embodied aspects of Legong symbolism. Detailed field notes were maintained, complemented by informal conversations that sometimes occurred in less formal settings like temple grounds. Every movement—from a delicate hand flick to intense, controlled eye movements—serves as a signifier within Balinese storytelling. Dancers are trained to communicate complex narratives about deities, conflict, courtship, and heroism through nonverbal cues. The use of ornate costumes, heavily jewelled headdresses, and vibrant fabrics reinforces the mythic quality of the characters portrayed. Even details like finger extensions and golden crowns contribute to the representation of supernatural or historical figures. Symbolism in Legong is sustained via a mixture of formal instruction and communal participation.
