摘要

Many scholarship programs are directly offered in learning Indonesian, for example, the Partnership for Developing Country scholarship program. This program is aimed at students who study in Indonesia. Bahasa learning activities can be done based on Contextual Teaching and Learning. The materials on the instructional material provided, can be improvised with the condition of the students because the existing teaching materials are intended not to accommodate the diversity of student conditions. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The result is a description of the implementation of Indonesian learning for foreign speakers in academic writing material, in particular (1) thesis-arguments and (2) textual procedures based on Contextual Teaching and Learning. The result is that students understand more about thesis-argument material and procedure texts because they are directly related to their lives, fields that students are engaged in. In addition, learning activities are very enjoyable. This certainly makes it easier to achieve learning goals.
