Unit Overview
- Description
This unit is designed for students who have successfully completed WACE Indonesian: Second Language (Stages 2 or 3) or the equivalent. The main objective is for students to attain 'transactional proficiency' in Indonesian or Level 1+ as described in the International Second Language Proficiency Ratings (Elaine Wylie and D. E. Ingram, Griffith University, 1995). Students memorise model conversations based on routine activities such as visiting the doctor, looking for a house and being welcomed as a guest. They thereby gain practical experience and confidence in speaking as well as learning about social conventions. Students' listening and comprehension skills are extended by studying extracts of authentic Indonesian films. They are also exposed to short articles taken from the Indonesian media in order to develop reading skills and vocabulary. Students are given a workshop on writing essays in Indonesian in order to learn some of the conventions of formal writing.
