Unit Overview
- Description
This unit enhances students' basic social proficiency in Indonesian at intermediate level, augmenting INDO2403 Indonesian 3 with the emphasis on more sophisticated spoken and written Indonesian. It gives students practical background in both Indonesian language and culture. Students consolidate what they learned in INDO1401 Indonesian 1 and INDO1402 Indonesian 2, especially the grammar, and expand their vocabulary. In addition they 'take a tour' through parts of Indonesia, so that when they go to Indonesia, they know how to behave, how to survive and how to explore its society, culture and environment. The unit aims to equip students with the listening and speaking skills to travel in Indonesia, to enable them to read simple information about places and life in Indonesia and to describe places and travel experiences in prose and conversations.
The unit is for students who have completed INDO1402 Indonesian 2 or INDO1102 Indonesian Beginners II or equivalent, and is available only to Level 2 students who have studied Indonesian for one year at university level. It is run parallel to INDO2403 Indonesian 3 and aims to reinforce and solidify knowledge of grammar, syntax and vocabulary taught in Level 1, to significantly expand vocabulary and oral and written fluency, and to extend student capacity in all four language skills (speaking, listening, writing and reading) of contemporary Indonesian. It broadens Indonesian language and cultural knowledge. A larger, intangible objective is to nurture an interest in Indonesian culture and society.
