Indonesian

This subject gives students the opportunity to use Bahasa Indonesia freely and creatively. To ensure success in this subject, a passing grade in Year 10 Indonesian is required. The 10-credit option should not be selected without a discussion with the language teacher or coordinator.

CONTENT

Stage 1 Indonesian consists of three themes, each with a number of topics and sub-topics. Themes:

• The Individual (eg sport and recreation, personal world)
• The Indonesian-speaking Communities (eg visiting Indonesia, religion, gender)
• The Changing World (eg environment, youth issues)

Through these themes, the students develop a deeper understanding and confidence in their knowledge and expression of Indonesian, preparing them well for Stage 2 and beyond.

ASSESSMENT

Assessment at Stage 1 is school-based. Students demonstrate evidence of their learning through the following assessment types:

• Interaction (both written and oral interaction)
• Text Production (both written and spoken pieces are produced)
• Text Analysis (both written and oral texts are checked for comprehension)
• Investigation (researching then presenting on a topic)
