The excursion strategy improves education by connecting various fields of knowledge and promoting language development through interactive experiences. Engaging in activities beyond the classroom allows students to witness real-life behaviors, which enriches their learning experience and makes it more impactful. This study explores students' perceptions regarding applying the excursion strategy in learning BIPA (Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers). The researchers employed quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data through questionnaires, interviews, and observation. For the quantitative data, purposive sampling was used to select 45 students from 112 enrolled in BIPA courses, while qualitative data was gathered through in-depth interviews using closed questions. The collected data then underwent analysis employing frequency statistics, facilitated through the distribution of questionnaires gauging students' perceptions of the application of excursion strategies. The findings showed that BIPA students greatly value the excursion method, which boosts their engagement. They find these strategies effective for improving their understanding of BIPA and Indonesian culture, primarily through direct interactions with the community that enhance their communication skills and appreciation of local traditions. Additionally, excursions provide practical insights into everyday Indonesian, making learning more enjoyable and motivating. The results suggest that customized excursion strategies further support skill development. While the research highlights the importance of innovative teaching methods, it also points out the need for more studies to better understand student perspectives and improve BIPA education. Overall, the excursion strategy is crucial in encouraging students to explore and reflect on their learning through meaningful interactions with their environment.
