Abstract

People nowadays should master more than one language. Therefore, they are not left behind by the advancement of languages and technology. One of the languages that is in demand by various nations in the world is Bahasa Indonesia. This study describes the challenges encountered by Thai students in learning Bahasa Indonesia as second language. For the time being, many studies merely focus on English Language. The results of this study were used to find the effective strategies to teach Bahasa Indonesia for Thais through qualitative descriptive research. The location of this study was at the University of Muhammadiyah Surabaya. The research subjects were ten Thai students with transcripts as the data. The results of the study indicated that the challenges encountered by the students were mainly in the aspect of competence (error not mistake) in speaking Bahasa Indonesia. The competence aspect includes the competence to understand sentences, phonemes, diction (first language Thai interference and first language Malay interference) and competence in understanding Indonesian (mis-formation). Then, the alternative in solving the challenges of second language learning was by using the immersion method. By using this technique, the learners were forced to always use a second language in every communication.
