| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Autentisitas di dalam pembelajaran bahasa asing, seperti BIPA, merupakan aspek yang penting dan harus diperjuangkan. Autentisitas bukan hanya terkait dengan bahasa yang dipelajari oleh pembelajar, namun juga terkait dengan bahan-bahan yang dipersiapkan oleh pengajar, dengan teknik pembelajaran, khususnya yang terlihat dalam tugas-tugas pembelajarannya, serta dengan bentuk-bentuk pengukuran keberhasilan pembelajaran BIPA. Makalah ini secara khusus akan mengupas ihwal autentisitas ini di dalam konteks (1) bahasa yang diajarkan, (2) bahan-bahan pembelajaran bahasa Indonesia yang dipelajari pembelajar asing, (3) tugas-tugas pembelajaran yang diterapkan di dalam kelas-kelas BIPA, dan (4) bentuk-bentuk tes BIPA yang diberikan pada para pembelajar. Dasar pemikiran yang digunakan dalam makalah ini adalah autentisitas bukanlah bersifat `hitam` dan `putih` atau autentik dan tidak autentik. Autentisitas dalam hal ini lebih dilihat sebagai suatu kontinum, di mana bahasa, bahan pembelajaran, tugas-tugas pembelajaran, dan bentuk-bentuk tes BIPA selalu mengandung unsur-unsur yang alamiah. Makalah ini juga akan menyuarakan pandangan yang ditujukan kepada para pengajar BIPA, bahwa walaupun kelas bahasa adalah suatu bentuk rekayasa pembelajaran bahasa yang sifatnya tidal autentik, kelas bahasa perlu memaksimalkan sifat-sifat autentik yang terdapat di dalam keempat komponen pembelajaran di atas. |

Teachers as facilitators are also demanded to be able to construct own-constructed questions that enable them to measure students; comprehension level on each comprehension level, especially on literal and inferential level. However, it is essential to bear in mind that, individuality in students` answers, especially in the referential level may arise due to the polyinterpretable nature of the literary texts itself. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Self-Access Center is a system that makes materials available for its students so that they can choose to work as they wish. As a bank of materials, it gives freedom for the students to roam and explore various learning materials with or without teacher`s assistance. In this self-directed situation, students have more autonomy and responsibility on their own learning. However, in such a situation, they may lose directions in choosing the materials. Thus the students need pathways as a guideline to direct themselves to choose the appropriate materials. Pathways have the capacity to provide routes to make connection between materials so that the real power of Self-Access Center in unlocked. Furthermore, they direct the students not just through one textbook or worksheet, but through hundreds or thousands of them. The creation of entire webs of such pathways can be designed through either rotational or linear pathways. In designing the pathways, the designers should firstly decide which macro approach and pathway focus to apply and then decide the level of self-access materials used in the pathway whether it is elementary, intermediate or advanced. Keeping the pathway`s format simple and clear is the final step to take. The abbreviations of textbooks, self-access materials, the study skills and language components used in the partway should be easy to follow. With the creation of pathways, the Self-Access Center students are expected to learn in an autonomous mode and enable them to provide the necessary structure for themselves. |
