Course Description	This course covers all four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. It aims to enable the students to: a. discuss a variety of non-technical topics relating to Indonesia and Australia with a native speaker, with appropriate fluency and range of language; b. to locate main ideas in slightly simplified or short authentic reading texts, with the aid of a vocabulary guide; c. translate simplified English reading texts into Indonesian with only minor or occasional inaccuracies; d. demonstrate a formal understanding of key grammatical features by using them correctly in oral and written exercises; and e. write a short essay on a general topic relating to Indonesia and Australia, containing moderately complex ideas, with sufficient accuracy and range of language for a reader to understand without special effort.
Learning Outcomes	At the end of the course students will be able to discuss a range of non-technical topics with a moderate degree of fluency, accuracy and range of language, write reasonably complex passages on non-technical topics with a fair degree of accuracy, and understand main ideas and much supporting detail in short authentic written texts with minimal vocabulary help. Students will also be able to argue effectively for a point of view in a short written essay on a non-technical topic. Students will also gain a basic cultural understanding of Indonesian culture and society which are applicable into their culturally grounded communicative skills.
Indicative Assessment	Assessment will be based on: class performance (attendance and participation) (20%), two quick quizzes (10%), mid-program written test (15%), mid-program oral test (20%), final program written test (15%) and final program oral test (20%). Graduate students attend joint classes with undergraduates but should expect a more rigorous assessment and additional assignment work.
