Abstract

The existence of Indonesian as an international language in the international arena cannot be doubted. There are several universities in Asia, Australia and mainland Europe that provide Indonesian language learning as one of the compulsory courses. One of the efforts to bring Indonesian to the international arena is through BIPA learning. The use of Indonesian in educational activities in Indonesia is regulated in Law no. 24 of 2009, especially Article 29 paragraph (1). This also applies to the BIPA teaching program in Indonesia. Therefore, foreign students studying or studying and even working in Indonesia, must be able to master the use of the Indonesian language. one way that foreign students can use Indonesian in their daily life is through the BIPA program. Previously, BIPA was used as an effort to internationalize the Indonesian language. So, in addition to being able to bring Indonesian as an international language, the BIPA program can also be used in efforts to internationalize universities in Indonesia, especially in the current era of globalization. The increase in BIPA students can be used to introduce Indonesian to other foreign students so that they are interested in learning it.
