Abstract

The learning of Indonesian for foreign speakers (bahasa Indonesia untuk penutur asing/BIPA) develops very fast. One of them is the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In line with this, the government of PRC shows a serious intention to learn Indonesian language by sending their students to learn the Indonesian language in Indonesia through BIPA program. The success of BIPA learning depends on the learners’ first language and teaching materials used. Therefore, in-depth studies on the linguistic characteristics of the BIPA learners are necessary to be conducted to acquire suitable teaching materials following the learners’ needs. This research was conducted on eight students of BIPA for academic purposes program from China. This research was conducted by applying a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings on the linguistic characteristics of the BIPA students from China show three aspects. First, from the aspect of phonology, Chinese students do not really master the consonant sound pronunciation of Indonesian language, which is apparent from the inability and consistent mispronunciation in pronouncing certain sounds. Second, from the aspect of morphology, the students can construct words with some affixes that form the active form, but can’t construct word using affixes that form the passive form. Third, the students have been able to construct a simple and complex sentence with two clauses, yet, they face difficulties in changing an active sentence to passive and vice versa. The three findings were then used to map the BIPA teaching materials, which later will be used for Chinese students in the future.
