Course Description

Practice in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating will be based on a number of texts which are selected to introduce certain topics. The course aims to enable 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. demonstrate an active command of a number of specific vocabulary items by using them correctly in written and oral exercises.

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 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.

Workload

The course will be taught over a period of one month or approximately 70 contact hours at The Language Centre, Faculty of Language and Literature, Satya Wacana Christian University Salatiga, Indonesia. It is expected that the Summer Session course will be run in January and the Winter Session course in June and July
