Description

Beginner-level Indonesian Language Learning for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) requires interactive and contextual learning strategies to support vocabulary mastery and active participation of learners. This study aims to describe the implementation of AhaSlides in learning BIPA vocabulary, analyze changes in test results, and identify responses and obstacles experienced by learners. The research uses a descriptive approach with quantitative and qualitative analysis involving 20 BIPA level 1 learners from eight countries in the Academic Support Unit (UPA) of the University of Bengkulu Language. Data was collected through pre-test and post-test, learner response questionnaires, observations, and learning documentation. The implementation of AhaSlides includes vocabulary introduction through visual illustrations, situation-based interactive quizzes, answer discussions, and simple communication exercises. The results showed an increase in the average test score from 67.5 to 97.0, with 95% of learners experiencing an increase in scores. Learner responses also showed a positive trend with an average of 3.44 out of a maximum scale of 4, especially in the aspects of ease of use of media, vocabulary understanding through example situations, and the benefits of teacher feedback. Constraints found included instructional comprehension, differences in language ability, speed of delivery of material, and disruption of internet connections. The study concluded that the integration of AhaSlides has the potential to support interactive and contextual learning of BIPA vocabulary, while taking into account the adjustment of instruction and the characteristics of entry-level learners.
