Abstract

This study examines the experiences and perceptions of 28 BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speakers) learners during the Summer Course at Untidar, emphasizing using Wordwall media in teaching. The materials taught focused on local Indonesian food, surrounding places, and local culture. Using qualitative research methods, data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to determine student responses and engagement. The results showed that using Wordwall as an interactive learning media created a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. Students felt happier, more comfortable, and more active during learning. This study highlights the importance of media in increasing student engagement and cultural understanding in the BIPA program and how technology can make language learning more dynamic and enjoyable.
