Note: Students taking a major or minor in Indonesian studies cannot take the same subjects in the context of Indonesian language. Persons not having a major or a minor in Indonesian studies may use up to sixteen credit points of Indonesian studies subjects towards their Indonesian language major.
The aim of language courses is to bring students as rapidly as possible to the stage where they can interpret Indonesian texts of moderate difficulty correctly and can express themselves adequately in both spoken and written modes, on the basis of a thorough knowledge of grammar on the one hand and an appreciation of Indonesian social and cultural life on the other. In order to facilitate this social and cultural understanding, some Indonesian studies units may be undertaken within the major in Indonesian language (providing the student does not have a major or minor in Indonesian studies). Such units are chosen from a range of options available at second and third-year level. Other options include courses in regional Indonesian languages (Javanese and Sundanese).
Indonesian language courses are not suitable for native speakers or those of comparable status; such persons should select courses from Indonesian studies.
There are two streams in Indonesian language: (a) for those who have no previous knowledge of Indonesian and (b) for those who have completed VCE Indonesian or its equivalent.
