Students read and listen to texts on social / cultural issues and discuss a wide range of social / cultural topics. They develop their writing ability by translating modified English texts into Indonesian, and develop their understanding of grammar points, and their range and precision of vocabulary, through written and spoken exercises.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Use an active vocabulary of around 1600 items.
- Recognise and produce phrase and sentence structures that enable them to converse and write extended passages on a wide range of non-technical topics, and to read short authentic non-technical texts with the aid of concise vocabulary lists.
- Converse and write in contexts such as discussion of gender roles, Indonesia-Australia relations, law and crime, and health.
- Demonstrate a cultural understanding of Indonesian perceptions and practices regarding such topics as: the participation of men and women in paid work and child care, diplomatic relations with Australia and cultural perceptions of Australians, tackling of law reform, and traditional versus modern medicine.
