Description
This paper explores an instructional strategy that integrates cultural narrative readings and advanced conversational texts to support intermediate–advanced Korean learners of Indonesian in a corporate BIPA program. The approach addresses the dual need for deep cultural literacy and high-level professional communication by combining a culturally oriented reading book (featuring folktales and Indonesian/Korean comparisons) with a high-level conversation textbook that includes global issues, workplace themes, and adapted media scripts. Together, these materials create a blended learning environment that strengthens learners' reading comprehension, cultural literacy, and oral communication skills. Classroom implementation highlights three key practices: (1) using narrative texts to build cultural context and interpretive skills, (2) leveraging advanced dialogues and multimedia excerpts to promote authentic communication, and (3) facilitating discussion-based tasks that connect language learning with corporate needs. Findings indicate that this integrated strategy enhances learners' engagement, intercultural awareness, and communicative confidence, making it highly effective for BIPA instruction in professional settings. The paper argues that combining culturally rich readings with advanced conversational resources provides a practical and adaptable framework for corporate BIPA classrooms serving Korean learners.
