Objectives On successful completion of this subject students should be able to read, summarise and translate articles from newspapers and magazines, write formal letters, invitations and faxes, follow more complex material from television and radio and conduct more sophisticated conversations, eliciting information, persuading someone to do something and discussing somewhat abstract topics.

Synopsis Students will enrol in this subject to have their results accredited to their degree at `Intermediate Indonesian' level. Students will select Indonesian Level II at the Sanata Dharma University and Realia Language School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Drawing on textbook materials, literary prose and more popular literature, students will write compositions, undertake translations and participate in informal conversation. The contact time includes a total of thirty hours of field work and activities providing visual and contextual cues to meaning. Through this immersion technique language is acquired with increasing ease and significant aspects of cross-cultural communication practiced in different contexts are recognised.

Assessment Examination (written and oral) 3 hours: 90%
* Class performance: 10% (undertaken in Indonesia)
* NB Granting of accreditation to a Monash degree is dependent upon passing an exam at Monash University in the Department of Asian Languages and Studies on return to Australia. Students must contact B Koesasi, 9905 5229 to make the necessary arrangements to sit the exam.
