INTRODUCING INDONESIAN LITERATURE THROUGH BIPA PROGRAMS

Abstrak

This article will explain the theoretical position of introducing Indonesian Literature both as reading material for literary works, literary excerpts as reading material for learning Indonesian or literature curriculum for Indonesian as a foreign language curriculum abroad. The introduction of BIPA or Indonesian material abroad is indeed specifically focused on the aspects of knowledge and language skills. Meanwhile, the position of Indonesian language lessons is very important, therefore Indonesian Literature should also be introduced both as knowledge and appreciation of literature to students/foreigners. Although the introduction of Indonesian literature must be adjusted to the position of learning a foreign language. As is known, learning a foreign language abroad follows the CEFR (Common European Frame References) guidelines through the field of learning ability classes A, B, and C, so the introduction of Indonesian literature can be positioned in each class in the position of introducing Indonesian literature, introducing Indonesian literary works and for class C to the appreciation of Indonesian literary works. The important thing in class A and B positions is the introduction of literary texts through integration in learning Indonesian language skills. While class C can be literary texts and their appreciation. Thus, through learning Indonesian for foreigners, Indonesian culture and literature are also introduced, both in the form of introduction, language skills, and appreciation of Indonesian literature. Learning Indonesian literature is carried out through introduction, knowledge and appreciation skills.
