INDO3201 Upper Intermediate Indonesian Part 1

This topic develops and extends the four core language-learning skills through two means: an exploration of online Indonesia and the weekly completion of Warung Sinema exercises. The weekly class time is devoted to a short topical reading connected to a current online source, a discussion of that, and a student presentation. Online material explored presents students with a picture of Indonesia that reflects its rich political, religious and social diversity. An assessed weekly written 'discussion' using FLO challenges students to communicate with each other on topics of their own choosing in written Indonesian.

This topic aims to:

• Develop more advanced language skills in the core areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking
• Integrate opportunities to learn about Indonesia within the study of the Indonesian language
