The data collection techniques include observation, interview, and documentation. The data were analyzed using interaction analysis consisting of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the research show that, first, local wisdom is instilled in the learning process of Indonesian language general courses so that lecturers only develop their own learning related to regional culture through public speaking.
