Interestingly, a number of these educators are native Australians who have mastered Indonesian. This study aims to improve the capacity of BIPA educators by equipping them with local Indonesian wisdom, so that they can teach Indonesian language and culture more effectively. This study uses a qualitative approach with direct training methods and field mentoring, which was carried out at the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra for two days. On the first day, 20 educators were introduced to the concept of local Indonesian wisdom, and on the second day, they practiced teaching using local wisdombased materials. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with participants. The results of the analysis showed that after the training, 85% of participants felt more confident in integrating local cultural elements into their teaching, as measured by a post-training survey. In conclusion, this training has successfully empowered BIPA educators by providing additional skills that enable them to teach Bahasa Indonesia in a more engaging and contextual way. This emphasizes the importance of incorporating local cultural elements into language learning to enhance student appeal and understanding. Thus, improving the competence of BIPA educators through this local wisdom training has contributed significantly to Bahasa Indonesia education in Australia.

INTRODUCTION In order to improve the quality of BIPA teaching in Australia, the integration of local Indonesian wisdom in teacher training is an urgency that cannot be ignored. This study offers a new approach that is expected to enrich the Indonesian language learning experience for foreign speakers, while maintaining the values of native Indonesian culture. Through this innovation, it is hoped that BIPA teaching in Australia can continue to develop and make a positive contribution in promoting Indonesian language and culture in the international arena (Zahroh et al., 2023)(Martoredjo, 2023). The demand for Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) educators in Australia has surged due to Indonesia's strategic geopolitical position and rich cultural heritage. This growing interest in learning the Indonesian language is evident among students, tourists, and professionals. However, BIPA educators face unique challenges, stemming from their diverse educational backgrounds, which often include fields beyond language teaching, such as sociology or linguistics. This diversity enriches the educational experience but necessitates a thorough understanding of local Indonesian wisdom to effectively contextualize language learning (Ramliyana, 2016; Hasanah, Kurniasih, & Halimah, 2021). Haanurat, A. et al., ││ Journal submission challenges:... Incorporating local wisdom into BIPA teaching presents several challenges. Indonesian culture is diverse and multifaceted, with over 17,000 islands and hundreds of ethnic groups, each possessing unique traditions and cultural practices. This diversity can overwhelm educators trying to embed cultural elements into their teaching. Traditional language teaching methods often focus on grammar and vocabulary, neglecting the rich cultural context that gives language its full meaning (Yulianeta et al., 2024). Consequently, students may only achieve a superficial understanding of the language, hindering their ability to communicate effectively in real-world scenarios where cultural sensitivity is crucial. Furthermore, many BIPA educators, especially non-native Indonesians, may lack direct exposure to Indonesian cultural practices. This lack of firsthand experience can impede their ability to convey cultural subtleties accurately. For instance, explaining practices like "kerokan," a traditional healing method perceived as unfamiliar or alarming to outsiders, can be challenging. This disconnect can lead to misunderstandings both in the classroom and beyond. Moreover, the scarcity of comprehensive resources that integrate cultural elements with language instruction further exacerbates these challenges (Syihabuddin, 2022; Albantani & Madkur, 2018). The integration of local wisdom in language teaching is urgent, especially in today's multicultural educational settings. As globalization accelerates, students worldwide encounter languages and cultures distant from their own, requiring educators to adopt a holistic approach that includes cultural competence. In BIPA programs, bridging cultural gaps is essential for meaningful learning experiences. Studies have shown that cultural understanding enhances language acquisition, improving linguistic proficiency and fostering a deeper appreciation for cultural nuances (Buttjes, 1990). This integration also promotes social cohesion and intercultural dialogue. Research indicates that students who appreciate cultural diversity through language studies are more likely to engage in positive intercultural interactions (Amandangi, Yulianeta, & Mulyati, 2020). By integrating cultural elements, educators can mitigate stereotypes and reduce prejudice, contributing to more harmonious societies. This study provides BIPA educators with tools and strategies to create culturally rich and inclusive learning environments, equipping students with intercultural competence crucial in our globalized world. While the importance of cultural elements in language education is widely acknowledged, practical implementation remains a challenge. Research by Nugraheni (2015) and Jazeri (2016) emphasizes Indonesia's cultural heritage in attracting language learners but lacks actionable methodologies for educators. Thamrin (2016) notes declining interest in Indonesian language courses in Australia due to political and social factors, suggesting a need for innovative teaching approaches that integrate culture. Saddono (2017) stressed the multicultural nature of BIPA classrooms, emphasizing cultural sensitivity without developing comprehensive training programs for educators. Hasanah et al. (2018) integrated local wisdom into BIPA textbooks but did not explore dynamic classroom interactions. Amandangi, Yulianeta, and Mulyati (2020) underscored cultural understanding in language acquisition but lacked specific guidance for educators. These studies highlight theoretical insights but often fail to provide practical tools for educators to apply effectively (Smith, 2020)(Pujiastuti, 2020). This study addresses these gaps by developing a hands-on training program for BIPA educators, focusing on the practical challenges they face in multicultural settings like Australia (Smith, 2020). Unlike prior research, this study offers educators actionable insights and tools for incorporating local wisdom into their practices. By enhancing educators' cultural competence and pedagogical skills, this comprehensive approach ensures that educators can integrate cultural dimensions into their curricula effectively (Pageh, 2020)(Zamzam et al., 2024). The novelty of this study lies in its dual focus on capacity building and cultural integration. Using direct training and field mentoring, the research provides a framework for empowering BIPA educators. The training at the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra serves as a model, with empirical findings showing 85% of participants reporting increased confidence in integrating cultural elements into their teaching. This study presents a novel approach to empowering BIPA educators by integrating local Indonesian wisdom into their teaching practices. By addressing the challenges and gaps identified in previous research, 162 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 161-165 Haanurat, A. et al., ││ Journal submission challenges:... it provides a practical framework for enhancing the cultural competence and pedagogical skills of educators. The findings underscore the importance of cultural integration in language education, paving the way for more effective and engaging learning experiences for students. This study not only contributes to language education but also reinforces the value of cultural understanding in an interconnected world (Nafiah, 2020)(Mas’odi & Arma, 2024). 2.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION The preparation phase of the training highlighted the significant demand for BIPA education in Australia. With over 72,746 students engaged in BIPA programs worldwide and a substantial portion in Australia, there is a clear need for educators who are well-versed in Indonesia's language and cultural aspects. This phase involved identifying the training needs of participants and tailoring the content to address these needs effectively. Table 1: Participant Demographics Country Number of Participants Australia 25 Finland 4 Malaysia 3 United States 4 Indonesia 3 The diverse origins of the participants underscored the global interest in the Indonesian language and culture. The varied backgrounds of the teachers also suggested different levels of familiarity with Indonesian culture, necessitating a comprehensive approach to training. The workshop's implementation phase was designed to provide hands-on experience in integrating local wisdom into BIPA teaching. The theme "Local Wisdom-Based Instruction in Indonesian for Foreign Learners" guided the activities. On the first day, participants engaged with material exploring Indonesian culture's rich tapestry. This included lectures on cultural practices, storytelling, and traditional arts. The second day focused on practical application. Participants were involved in teaching simulations, allowing them to practice integrating cultural elements into language lessons. This approach aligns with experiential learning theories, which advocate for learning through direct experience as a means to enhance understanding and retention. Empirical evidence from previous studies supports the effectiveness of such methods. For example, a study by Liddicoat and Scarino (2013) found that teachers who integrate culture into language instruction often report higher levels of student motivation and interest. The evaluation of the workshop revealed positive feedback from participants. Many reported increased confidence in their ability to teach Indonesian with a focus on cultural authenticity. The inclusion of traditional dances and clothing demonstrations, such as the "Mak Inang Pulau Kampai" dance and Kenyah Dayak Tribe attire, provided participants with a deeper appreciation for Indonesia's cultural diversity. Table 2: Participant Feedback Feedback Aspect Positive Responses (%) Increased Cultural Awareness 92 Enhanced Teaching Skills 89 Overall Satisfaction 95 The overwhelmingly positive response suggests that integrating local wisdom into BIPA teaching is feasible and effective. Participants expressed enthusiasm for applying these new insights in their classrooms, indicating a potential for improved student outcomes. 4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION RESULT The role of BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing) educators is pivotal in promoting Indonesian language and culture to non-native speakers. As of December 2020, there were approximately 72,746 students enrolled in BIPA programs globally, with Australia hosting the largest number of BIPA institutions. The educators' responsibility extends beyond language instruction to include cultural 165 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 161-165 Haanurat, A. et al., ││ Journal submission challenges:... education, which is essential for minimizing culture shock and fostering a deeper appreciation of Indonesian culture among students. A study by Setyaningsih et al. (2022) highlights the challenges faced by BIPA educators in incorporating cultural elements due to varying levels of cultural understanding and integration skills. This underscores the need for specialized training that enhances educators’ capacity to teach both language and culture effectively (Budiarti et al., 2023)(Zahroh et al., 2023). Preparation and Training Approach The training was organized by the Faculty of Language and Literature Education (FPBS) of the Indonesian Education University (UPI) in collaboration with the Education and Culture Attaché Office at the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra. The hybrid training allowed participation from 39 educators across different countries, enhancing the diversity of learning experiences.

Empirical Evidence Similar findings were reported in a study by Supriyadi et al. (2020), where educators who received cultural training demonstrated improved teaching effectiveness and student engagement. Conclusion The training successfully empowered BIPA educators by enhancing their ability to incorporate Indonesian local wisdom into their teaching methodologies. This approach not only enriches language instruction but also fosters a deeper cultural understanding among students. The positive outcomes of this training underscore the value of integrating cultural elements into language education, thereby strengthening the internationalization of Indonesian language and culture in Australia. Future Research Directions Future studies could explore the long-term impact of such training on both educators and students (Sudirman, 2020), as well as the development of standardized materials that effectively incorporate local wisdom for use in diverse educational settings. Additionally, expanding the training to include more international participants could further enhance cultural exchange and learning. Discussion The integration of local Indonesian wisdom into BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing) education in Australia has proven to be instrumental in enhancing the teaching capabilities of educators (Damopolii, 2024)(Firdaus, 2023). This research highlights the significance of cultural inclusivity in language instruction, emphasizing that understanding the cultural context enhances language learning. The positive feedback from participants, with 85% feeling more confident in their teaching approach post-training, underscores the effectiveness of this method. The training not only provided educators with materials rooted in local wisdom but also demonstrated innovative teaching strategies that could be employed in their classrooms (Budiarti et al., 2023). This approach aligns with the broader educational goal of preparing students to engage meaningfully with Indonesian culture, thus minimizing potential culture shock and fostering a deeper appreciation of Indonesia's rich cultural tapestry. When compared to previous research, which primarily focused on the linguistic aspects of BIPA programs, this study offers a novel perspective by integrating cultural insights. Earlier studies often emphasized grammar and vocabulary acquisition, viewing cultural education as a supplementary aspect rather than a core component. However, this research demonstrates that cultural elements can significantly enrich the educational experience, making language learning more engaging and relatable for students. By incorporating traditional dances, clothing, and local customs, the training created a dynamic and immersive learning environment, which previous studies may have overlooked. Moreover, the hybrid nature of the training allowed for wider participation, suggesting that future BIPA programs could benefit from a more inclusive and international approach. In conclusion, the success of this training program highlights the importance of local wisdom in BIPA education and its potential to transform language teaching. By bridging cultural gaps, educators can effectively serve as cultural ambassadors, fostering strong international relationships and promoting Indonesian culture on a global stage. This research not only contributes to the academic discourse on language education but also proposes practical solutions for educators seeking to improve their teaching methodologies. Future research could expand on this work by exploring other cultural elements that could be integrated into BIPA programs, thereby continuously enhancing the cultural competence and effectiveness of language educators worldwide. 5. CONCLUSION The study on "Bridging Cultures: Empowering BIPA Educators in Australia through Local Indonesian Wisdom Training" has illustrated the importance of integrating local Indonesian cultural elements into the teaching of the Indonesian language. By equipping BIPA educators with knowledge and understanding of local wisdom, the training has significantly enhanced their ability to teach Bahasa Indonesia in a more engaging and 168 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 161-165 Haanurat, A. et al., ││ Journal submission challenges:... contextually relevant manner. The qualitative approach, involving direct training methods and field mentoring at the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra, proved effective in boosting educators' confidence. The post-training survey results, which showed that 85% of participants felt more adept at incorporating local cultural elements into their teaching, underscores the success of this initiative. This training not only empowered the educators but also highlighted the vital role of cultural integration in language learning, emphasizing how it can enrich the educational experience and increase student interest.
