Abstract

This research is a critical and comprehensive study and analysis of verbal communication patterns often used by ASEAN students from Vietnam and Thailand in learning the Indonesian language at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. This research is useful in supporting BIPA (Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers) learning, especially in developing students’ oral and written communication skills with native speakers of Indonesian while still positioning them as unique individuals without ethnocentric views. This study aims to find out how students from Vietnam and Thailand form certain cultural patterns in their communication using the Indonesian language. It also seeks to find out patterns of communication that result in intercultural miscommunication in Indonesian. The research method is by conducting the intensive discussion, filling out a list of questions and interviews to get qualitative results that illustrate the things raised in the formulation of the problem. Subsequently, an analysis was performed using thematic data analysis with an apriori approach. The results of the study revealed that (1) ASEAN international students, especially Vietnam and Thailand, have shown effective intercultural communication without showing stereotypes and prejudices; (2) ASEAN international students, especially Vietnam and Thailand, do not show group generalizations, but individual personality, in the intercultural communication; (3) the researcher found that an intercultural approach is the right approach in learning the Indonesian language by including concepts of intercultural communication.
