This course aims to provide opportunities for Indonesian language study from novice through to professional level. The graduate diploma develops an awareness of the cultural, political and economic influences on language use and both academic and practical skills applicable to working in a multilingual environment.
A bachelors degree in any field.
Students are expected to participate in at least 10 hours of face-to-face study per semester. This may be taken as (a) attendance at one weekend workshop, (b) 10 hours tutoring from an Indonesian native speaker, or (c) a one-week, or equivalent, visit to Indonesia. In both (a) and (b), students are required to make recordings of tasks or interviews. All students will be eligible for a Monash Study Abroad Scholarship.
All students are expected to have access to (a) tape recorder for exam and short assignment, (b) a video recorder once per semester for 10 minutes - this will be made available for those attending weekend workshops, and (c) a computer with a CD-ROM drive and internet connection once per week (this can also be accessed from a public library or from any Monash campus).
This course is equivalent to one year full-time (48 points), but as language units must be studied sequentially, it is normally completed over three years. The graduate diploma is suitable for beginners or those with intermediate levels of competence. Students normally take a three-year sequence of core language units (commencing at the appropriate level for their starting competence) as well as two additional units (one at either second or third-year levels and another at third-year level).
A choice of one of the following units:
* Post-VCE Indonesian students or equivalent may study both.
[dagger] Not offered by off-campus learning in 2005.
Where possible, students taking the language sequence through off-campus learning should select from the following in-country units in replacement of the units in the standard study program. Post-VCE students or equivalent are required to study a minimum of one six-point unit in-country:
* Students are eligible to apply for Monash Abroad Scholarships.
