Description

Indonesian 2 is the second part of the intensive language course for beginners, in which students acquire further structures and vocabulary of Indonesian, as well as cultural knowledge necessary for effective Language Use in this language. The course consists of three closely linked components: Grammar, Vocabulary and Language Use. The Grammar component is focused on acquiring knowledge of Indonesian grammar and the practical ability to apply this knowledge in oral and written discourse. The Vocabulary component is meant to acquire, memorize and enlarge the student’s lexical knowledge. The Language Use component is devoted to acquiring practical competence in Indonesian by means of exercises in conversation, oral presentation, comprehension of texts, and writing skills. Indonesian 2 is an integrated whole in which all components mutually support each other. It is not possible to follow the component classes separately.
