Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) has been intensively recommended by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as open learning resources to be used by both educators and students to support the students’ learning process. Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing (BIPA) is a fully-online language program offered by Universitas Terbuka (UT) to non-native speakers who intend to learn the Indonesian language or Bahasa Indonesia. Since this program applies online language learning, the tutors must provide learning materials and activities that are accessible and effective to assist the participants in their learning process, especially in improving their language skills. It is the responsibility of the tutors to be creative and innovative. Thus, the use of OER is one alternative taken by the tutors with the expectation of helping the participants gain meaningful learning experiences. In this article, the writers intend to 1) review the theories or best practices of OER , 2) describe the current online tutorial of the BIPA Program, and 3) analyze the implementation of using OER in the online tutorial of the BIPA Program. From the analysis, it is visible that the use of OER highly supports the online tutorial of the BIPA program, particularly in helping the participants learning Bahasa Indonesia more effectively.
