The existence of the Indonesian language is currently increasing. This is evident in the number of foreigners who have shown interest in learning the Indonesian language for foreigners called BIPA. The purpose of this study is to know the need for foreign learners in learning the Indonesian language using folktales. This study used a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation and deep interviews conducted with international students. The results of the study showed that foreign students are interested in learning through folktales. They also hope that the BIPA learning will use the Indonesian language dominantly, variations of methods and resources, innovative media using various folktales, and meet many new classmates who come from different countries. Some students also assume that the Indonesian language is unique and easy to learn with folktales. This study implies that BIPA teachers could use folktales as material content for BIPA learners.
