The existence of the Indonesian language is currently improving. It can be seen from many foreigners interested in learning the Indonesian language for foreigners or "BIPA." Besides, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture also sent the teachers of "BIPA" to go abroad, making more foreigners know the Indonesian language, especially students. This study aimed to determine foreign learners' needs in learning the Indonesian language. The present research employed a qualitative approach. The data were obtained through distributing offline questionnaire, online questionnaire, and doing interviews. The findings indicated that foreign people hoped they could use the Indonesian language dominantly in the "BIPA" learning, find variations of methods and resources, access innovative media engaging various folktales, and meet many new classmates from different countries. Some informants also assumed that the Indonesian language was unique and easy to learn by using folktales. They were interested in learning through folktales. The implication of this study was that "BIPA" teachers could use folktales as lesson materials for their students. [For the full proceedings, see ED630948.]
