From Acting Class to Language Learning

In this paper, I propose that interdisciplinary approach by combining acting, language teaching method, cultural understanding can be one of many ways in learning Indonesian language for foreign students.I argue that this approach enables the students to not only embrace the language but also the culture of targeted language. Inspired by andragogy teaching learning philosophy, interdisciplinay concept and the application of the concept of culture, language and representational acting, I explore a case study of foreign students who studied Indonesian language in Petra Christian University. In so doing, I discuss weekly activities, the reasons behind adopting those activities, as well as the boon and bane of the approach.
