STRATEGIES AND MODELS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDONESIAN LANGUAGE TEACHERS FOR NON NATIVE SPEAKERS THROUGH LOCAL WISDOM

Cut Novita Srikandi

Abstract


The global expansion of BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing, Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers) programs has heightened the need for qualified educators possessing both pedagogical expertise and the capability to create culturally authentic materials. Many BIPA teachers encounter professional challenges, such as insufficient training in foreign language instruction and limited access to systematic professional development opportunities. This study investigates strategies and models for the professional development of BIPA teachers by incorporating local wisdom from North Sumatra, particularly the traditions of pantun and hikayat. This study employs a systematic literature review to synthesize pertinent scientific literature on teacher professional development, local literary traditions, and BIPA instruction. The findings identify three primary strategies: collaborative learning communities rooted in pantun creativity principles, narrative-based reflection utilizing the hikayat storytelling tradition, and mentoring relationships informed by local Malay values, such as budi bahasa (good manners) and timbang rasa (consideration). This study presents the Local Wisdom-Integrated Professional Development Model (LW-IPD Model), comprising four components: cultural immersion, pedagogical adaptation, reflective dialogue, and sustainable practice. The integration of pantun and hikayat traditions offers a culturally significant framework for improving BIPA teachers' competencies and aids in the preservation of North Sumatra's Malay literary heritage.
