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:

1. Use an active vocabulary of around 1600 items.
2. 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.
3. Converse and write in contexts such as discussion of gender roles, Indonesia-Australia relations, law and crime, and health.
4. 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.

For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Assessment Task 1

Class Performance Weeks 1-4

Due: Weeks 1-4

Class performance is calculated on the basis of your active participation in classes in weeks 1-4. Performance is evaluated against your preparation for classes, proficiency in using the language, and contribution to the learning atmosphere.

[Marks and written feedback will be provided prior to the census date in Semester 2 2022).

Assessment Task 2

Class Performance Weeks 5-11

Due: Weeks 5-11

[Marks and written feedback will be provided when Semester 2 results are published.]

Assessment Task 3

Independent Study and Reflection

Due: Weeks 2-11

You are required to study independently outside class for a minimum of 1 hour. The independent study may include, but not limited to, a wide range of Indonesian-related activities such as: 1) listening to songs; 2) watching movies; 3) reading articles; 4) watching news; 5) doing reading comprehension questions; and 6) attending a language exchange activity where you pair up with people to speak the Indonesian language. You can do these either individually or in pair/group. Note that independent study does not include working on homework assigned to you. The focus of the independent study is entirely up to you. You may focus on content/reading comprehension, fluency, grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension, etc.

 

Once completing the independent study, you are required to complete a weekly Reflection Log which details your activity. You are required to reflect upon your independent study. In doing so, ask questions, for example: What have you learned? How has a particular learning strategy helped you and in what way? What have you done well and why? What have you not done so well, why, and how could you improve in the future?

 

Each reflection in the Reflection Log is written in the Indonesian language and consists of 50-150 words. There are 10 reflections in total, starting from Weeks 1-10. Each reflection is submitted on Monday the following week; for example, the reflection for Week 1 is due on Monday in Week 2, and the one in Week 10 is on Monday Week 11. Submission details will be provided in class.

[Marks and written feedback will be provided when Semester 2 results are published.]

Assessment Task 4

Digital Project

Due: Friday, Week 8

You are required to work in groups (3-4 people) to create a 10-minute digital project (i.e. video) focusing on one of the weekly topics listed on Wattle (e.g., peranan perempuan, hubungan Indonesia dan Australia). The digital project may take either one of the two forms: 1) critical analysis; 2) narrative. It may be developed in any range of modes and narratives (e.g., web-based stories, interactive stories, hypertexts). Any form of digital tools such as iMovie, Microsoft Photos and WeVideo may be used.

You must work with other members to choose a topic of interest from the ones available in Weeks 1-11. Identify how you would like to present the topic: whether you want to create a documentary video or create a short movie where everyone acts in it. You are encouraged to be creative and engaging in your work. Use of music, pictures, texts, etc. is encouraged, providing their relevance and usefulness. However, you also need to conduct an adequate amount of research into the topic to ensure the inclusion of substantial information and or analysis. Around 9 minutes are dedicated to the main part of the video analysis or narrative of the topic where things are presented in the Indonesian language. The other 1 minute is allocated to ‘behind the scene’ activities where you need to show how the preparation of the project has been conducted with some Indonesian involved.

 

In addition to an MP4 video format of the project, a transcript must be submitted on Friday Week 8 along with a signed statement that all group members have worked collaboratively. Details of submission will be provided in class.

[Marks and written feedback will be provided when Semester 2 results are published.]

Assessment Task 5

Final Speaking Test

Due: Week 12

The test is based on topics in Weeks 1-11. You will be given four papers, each indicating a topic. Out of the four topics presented in Weeks 1-11, you may veto one of them, hence there are only three possible topics in three papers. Then, you select one out of three remaining pieces of paper. Based on your selection, a video corresponding to the topic is shown.

The video is short (up to 3 minutes). You need to watch the video with your pair and take notes as you do so. You may ask vocabulary-related questions to each other, as well as to your lecturer. The video will be shown a second time. The preparation time given to these is 8 minutes.

Then, you will be required to discuss the video for 10-15 minutes. A set of questions guiding the discussion will be given to you. Oral feedback is provided by the end of the test to identify your strengths and weaknesses and help you improve in the future. Total speaking test time: 30 minutes.

Test schedule will be made available in Week 11.

[Marks and written feedback will be provided when Semester 2 results are published.]

Assessment Task 6

Final Reading-based Test

Due Week 12

The test is based on various unseen, modified passages of Indonesian. The passages are of varying lengths, from a one-paragraph text, to a few paragraph-text.

The passages represent all the four topics discussed in the semester, focusing largely on reading comprehension. Short grammar- and vocabulary-related questions appropriate to the texts will be included. Use of dictionaries is not allowed.

The test schedule will be made available in Week 11.

[Marks and written feedback will be provided when Semester 2 results are published.]

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically.
