Abstract
The rising demand for BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) programs reflects the global interest in mastering Indonesian for various purposes. This study aims to explore trends, challenges, and opportunities in research related to teaching Indonesian for Foreign Speakers. This research uses bibliometric analysis by using data from the Scopus and Dimension databases. The number of articles used in the analysis from Scopus database is 92 while from dimension is 716 articles. The keywords applied in this research include "BIPA" OR "Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers" OR "Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers" OR "Indonesian for Foreign Speakers". The analysis and visualization were conducted using bibliometric tools (VOSviewer, Biblioshiny). The main findings of this study include BIPA research trends by annual production and country, analysis of keywords and relevant articles, and examination of significant sources, authors, and affiliations in this field. This research analysis indicates an increasing interest in Indonesian language education among foreign speakers, as evidenced by the increasing annual production and international participation in BIPA research. However, challenges such as the gap between research output and impact highlight the importance of strategies to increase visibility and engagement within the academic community.
