Abstract

The inculcation of cultural values in BIPA learning has a positive value in fostering an appreciative attitude among foreign students, which has an impact on growing mutual respect and maintaining peace between nations. For this reason, BIPA textbooks as learning materials for foreign students have an essential role in directing and instilling these values. This study aimed to reveal (a) the various values of peace in the BIPA textbook and (b) the strategy of discursive practice in inculcating the values of peace. This study used a qualitative approach that utilizes the critical discourse analysis theory paradigm. The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture's 2019 BIPA textbook for advanced levels is the source of the research's verbal and visual texts. Data analysis was done through data reduction, data presentation, and interpretation of the meaning of data based on the views of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Visual Grammar Theory (VGT). This study found three categories of values: self, social relations, and environment. Values about caring for society, the environment, and democracy dominated the BIPA textbook. Instilling these values, the strategies adopted are determining cultural topics according to the needs of students, using dialogue discourse models, using images that support reading texts, and selecting a functional and meaningful language. This finding significantly contributes to the authors of language textbooks encouraging foreign learners to consider cultural values that lead to developing more comprehensive subject matter. In addition, these findings also make it clear that foreign language teachers do not only teach their language but also need to emphasize learning about values that support students' communicative competence. © 2024, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta State University).
