Even though we born in Indonesia, most of the Indonesian people did not implement the good and correct use of Bahasa Indonesia. The unique part of this campaign of good and correct use of Bahasa Indonesia was done by foreign students from Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.
These students from several different countries were served with the beauty of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Malang District, East Java. Not just enjoying the sunrise and the Bromo mountain sea of sands, the foreign students were also interacting with other visitors and train their Bahasa fluency.
“Besides introducing the tourist attraction in Indonesia, the purpose of this event was to improve their Bahasa skill. They are also assigned to interview some visitors and the local community by using Bahasa,” said Faizin, M.Pd as the Head of Internationalization of BIPA Program Division UMM, Monday (21/10).
