Admission requirements
This course is only available for students in the BA International Studies programme who have passed Indonesian 1 Beginners and Indonesian 2 Pre-Intermediate. If students have not yet passed Indonesian 3 Intermediate, they are expected to follow that course alongside the Indonesian in Practice course.
Description
This course puts into action the linguistic and cultural knowledge and skills students acquired in their language acquisition courses. Students will apply their knowledge of Indonesian to authentic texts related to International Studies.
Using a case-study approach, students will practice finding and analysing Indonesian data in the first half of the course. In the second half, they will create a portfolio of usable Indonesian data on a topic of their choice.
Course objectives
By the end of the course, students will be able to locate written and spoken Indonesian materials that can serve as data or reference for a (research) project in International Studies.
Students will analyse spoken and written Indonesian texts of appropriate level. They will be able to summarise, paraphrase, and evaluate these texts in English.
Timetable
The timetables are available through My Timetable.
