Description

The course Indonesian 2 Pre-Intermediate is a continuation of the course Indonesian 1, where the students themselves continue the structures and vocabulary of Indonesian own making, as well as cultural knowledge necessary for effective communication in this language. Like Indonesian 1, Indonesian 2 comprises two closely interrelated parts: Structures and Communication. In the course component Structures, the emphasis is on acquiring knowledge of the grammar of the Indonesian and the ability to apply this knowledge in oral and written language. In the other part of the course, Communication, focuses on developing practical language skills through exercises in conversation, oral presentation, comprehension and writing.

Course objectives
