Indonesian Language Courses

Stage 5 (Year 9 and 10) students work through an updated course developed specifically for Distance Education. The 200-hour course is complemented via blended learning: a significant number of interactive e-learning tasks which enable students to consolidate their learning.

A wide variety of audio, video, and visual materials presented through the e-learning site brings the study of the language and culture alive.

Regular phone lessons with the teacher enable quick resolution of any problems in coursework. Study days or virtual Face-to-Face lessons enable students and teachers to interact with each other in a meaningful way.

Indonesian Beginners

Students gain a wide exposure to the Indonesian language, culture and way of life through a course complemented by e-learning delivery and a rich array of audio and visual material. Students work on materials designed for Distance Education by the NSW School of Languages. Students are expected to submit work regularly.

This includes handwritten submissions, interactive computer tasks as well as telephone lessons.

This regular contact with their teacher enables the student to practice their oral and listening skills in addition to providing an opportunity for students to discuss any matter with their teacher. Study days or virtual Face-to-Face lessons enable students and teachers to interact with each other in a meaningful way.

Indonesian Continuers

Students develop all skills required in the syllabus. The course is delivered via blended learning: a wealth of self-correcting exercises so the students can get immediate feedback; there are also a variety of tasks that require students to consolidate their learning and to get examination practice.

Students have weekly telephone lessons with their teacher during which time they can hone their Indonesian conversation skills and discuss anything needing clarification. Students also join the virtual or Face-to-Face lessons where they can easily contact their teacher as well as one another.

Indonesian and Literature

Students with experience in the language will find this course to be very rewarding as they are able to maintain their knowledge of their own culture and language. In both the Preliminary and HSC courses students study a variety of interesting contemporary issues such as Family in contemporary society.

The influence of popular culture on young people, What it means to be Indonesian, and Environmental issues.

Many of these issues are explored through the study of literary texts such as short stories and films. The Indonesian and Literature Courses complement the study of English and are a valuable addition to any student's education.
