After completing the course, students will able to use basic Indonesian appropriately, correctly and with some degree of spontaneity and variation in a number of very commonly occurring situations and interactions. Students will acquire: an active, well-pronounced command of the core vocabulary of Indonesian that is close to 1,000 of the very frequently used words in everyday conversation; and a working command of the most frequent features of Indonesian grammar.

At the end of the course students will be able to participate effectively in basic conversations on a number of everyday topics, and write simple accurate compositions based on those topics. Students will also gain a basic cultural understanding of Indonesian culture and society which are applicable into their culturally grounded communicative skills.
