Indonesian

The LOTE (Languages Other Than English) VELS curriculum has at its core a focus on:

a)      Communicating in a language other than English

b)      Intercultural knowledge and language awareness

It is important therefore to encourage language use, experimentation and risk-taking and to build on concepts students have been developing and are continuing to develop in order to introduce a new language to their world. Students are encouraged as much as possible to practice conversational language, and to identify and imitate culturally appropriate language. The students repeat words and learn to ask and answer questions related to themselves, building a personal profile in Bahasa Indonesian. Students are encouraged to join in songs, dances and games and it is hoped that they will be able to demonstrate both verbally and non-verbally an enhanced understanding of Indonesian language and culture.

The philosophy behind learning Indonesian is to key students into the importance of learning a second language. We provide an opportunity for different modules for learning.  We celebrate and enjoy learning Indonesian. The major focus is to help students to see themselves as global citizens of the future with greater sensitivity and a deeper understanding of the Indonesian people, their language and culture.
