PRINSIP DAN TEKNIK MENGAJARKAN KOSAKATA BI KEPADA PEBELAJAR BIPA

Abstract

The extent of vocabulary possessed by learners of BIPA, of Bahasa
Indonesia sebagai Penutur Asing, or of the Indonesian language as foreign
speakers, has a positive correlation with the extent of their achievement in
mastering that language. As part of the effort to keep applying communicative
teaching, careful attention needs to be paid to the teaching of vocabulary to
learners of BIPA in order that it remains on the communicative lane and the
vocabulary learned has enduring retention in their memory so that they could make
it function both as a means of communication and as a means of performing their
speech acts.
The syllabus planned for the vocabulary teaching is a curriculum model
determining the direction of the teaching program and describes the objectives to
be achieved in each learning activity. The syllabus design enables the teachers to
formulate lesson plans that are in line with the teaching objectives to be achieved.
The plan of the syllabus should be made integrally in order that the vocabulary
teaching could be linked with other components like skill aspects of the target
language such as function, context, and grammar as well as its cultural aspects.
