IMPLEMENTATION OF INDONESIAN CULTURE IN ACADEMIC WRITING CLASS OF CHINESE BIPA STUDENTS

Abstract
Efforts to introduce Indonesian culture to foreign speakers (BIPA) can be made through various approaches. One approach that is wide open is through lectures on Writing Scientific Papers (Academic Writing). The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of cultures in the academic writing classes of BIPA students and to describe topics related to Indonesian cultures in the product of BIPA student research reports. The method of the study is based on the results of observations, questionnaires, and literature study in the academic writing process of BIPA students. The research results show that, during the lecture process, academic writing is based on culture. During classes, lecturers use material about students’ cultures and activities (idea selection, data collection, and report writing) which are oriented towards Indonesian cultures (especially Javanese cultures). Then, the topic of students’ writing is also based on cultures such as the behavior of the Javanese society, traditional ceremonies, traditional arts, and cultural objects (artifacts). The topic of the cultures is chosen by the Chinese BIPA students because: a) cultural topics are in accord with students’ choices, thus motivating their learning, b) cultural research is authentic material and has various types, c) culture is the land for the growth of noble values and personalities and accelerates the adjustment of students to their community.
