Abstract:
The problem found in higher education especially in learning Bahasa is that the undergraduates cannot meet the expected language learning outcome. This research aims to improve Bahasa competence through fast track-based participatory model in Tanjungpura University, Indonesia. The subjects of the research are the lecturer of Bahasa Education Department and the undergraduates of Chemistry Education Department, teacher training and education faculty, Tanjungpura University in the academic year of 2017/2018. This three-cycle classroom action involves some steps as planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The instruments of the research are Bahasa competence test, field note, and observation guideline. The data are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The research findings show that after joining the lectures: (1) there is improvement on undergraduates’ linguistic competence; almost 90% undergraduates get score >70 and (2) more than 70% undergraduates pass the test. The undergr
aduates’ Bahasa competence is improved since there are more of them that participate through various tracks in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Implementation of participatory model based on fast track gives positive impact with the improvement of Indonesian language competence of students in the learning of general basic subjects of Indonesian language.
