Description
Indonesian Language 4 is the fourth part of the intensive language course for beginners where students continue to learn Indonesian structures and vocabulary, as well as cultural knowledge that is necessary for effective communication in this language. Like Indonesian Language 1, Indonesian Language 2 and Indonesian Language 3, the course Indonesian 4 consists of two closely linked components: Structures and Communication. The Structures class focuses on acquiring knowledge of Indonesian grammar and the practical ability to apply this knowledge in oral and written discourse. The Communication class is devoted to acquiring practical competence in Indonesian by means of exercises in conversation, individual oral presentation, comprehension of texts, and writing skills. Indonesian Language 4 is an integrated whole, both components of which mutually support each other. It is not possible to follow the Structures and Communication classes separately.
Course objectives
