Abstract

Developments in information and communication technology as well as the Covid-19 pandemic have pushed second language learning in a more modern direction than in recent years. This article aims to discuss foreign students’ perceptions of online learning of Indonesian for Foreign Speakers or Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing (BIPA) at the Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang, Indonesia. The key method is a survey with the instrument in the form of a questionnaire. There are four perception variables surveyed to students. The findings show, first, that BIPA students’ motivation is still dominated by face-to-face learning. Second, BIPA students prefer printed material on the grounds that important notes can be given even though electronic material is still acceptable. Third, the platform in the form of Zoom is the favorite choice for the implementation of synchronous learning, besides that there is information related to other types of platforms whose use is limited in certain countries. Fourth, language skills in the form of listening and speaking are preferred to be learned independently rather than reading and writing. Learning language skills independently by using authentic materials leads to better learning motivation. Although online learning can be implemented, face-to-face learning still seems to be preferred to be implemented. In certain situations, for example during the pandemic, the online BIPA program can still be implemented as a second option and collaboration between various parties is needed such as the governments of the two countries, sending and administering institutions, sponsors, and learning technology teams. This collaboration is an effort to ensure quality BIPA learning in the future so that students are able to achieve communicative competencies such as face-to-face learning.
