Abstract

Cross-cultural understanding can facilitate Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) students because they can learn and understand Indonesian culture by reflecting on their own culture. They can easily imagine the concrete forms of the Indonesian language and culture as well as their application in everyday life. The cultural similarities and differences with the target language culture are good intermediaries in learning the language and establishing cooperation. This article aims to describe the extent to which BIPA students are interested in folklore texts through an open questionnaire. Folklore text is one of the media used by teachers in the process of cross-cultural understanding. The students’ interest is closely related to the need for teaching materials containing folklore texts as a cross-cultural understanding effort, especially Japanese and Indonesian cultures.
