Online Learning Platforms for Teaching Indonesian to Foreign Speakers
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on various areas of life, one of them being education. The enactment of regional restrictions made BIPA teachers in Indonesia shift from normal classroom teaching to virtual online classes. BIPA teachers now use different learning platforms to convey study materials or learning objectives to their students. Thus, technology has become a bridge between students and teachers not just in Indonesia but also for those from different parts of the world who are interested in learning Indonesian. One of the proficiency classes that require alternative learning platforms is the speaking proficiency class. In learning speaking skills, texts are not only presented in audio form but also as videos. Both forms require variations in the learning platform. Therefore, this research was conducted to describe the online learning platforms utilized by BIPA teachers, especially concerning their speaking skills where audio and video texts are included. Technology integration from various BIPA learning platforms is carried out based on the considerations concerning the heutagogical approach by treating BIPA students as adults who have autonomy in language learning.
