Description
The course Indonesian 3 Upper-) Intermediate (5 ECTS) is the third 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. This course is a continuation of Indonesian 1 and Indonesian 2. As Indonesian 1 and Indonesian 2, the course Indonesian 3 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.
