In this course, students learning Indonesian will learn and practice vocabulary and topics related to the self, including body parts, clothing, emotions, and verbs related to thinking and experiencing. There will be an emphasis on truly using the language to understand and communicate. I will use visual aids, body movement, comic strips, and dialogues with puppets to teach students new vocabulary and how to deepen their communication. This class will involve lots of interaction and repetition to help students master the vocabulary and be able to begin communicating in Indonesian. The emphasis in this class will be on understanding spoken Indonesian, and then speaking it. Learners will be expected to try interacting and communicating from the very beginning. I will reassure students that mistakes are part of the learning process and create a safe and nurturing environment to try new things. This class will be most beneficial to students on an 'advanced beginner' level - students with some prior exposure to bahasa Indonesia, such as students who have taken some of my other Indonesian classes, or learned it in other contexts. The class will take into account that students will be at different levels. If you are not sure if the level of this class is right for your learner, please contact me. Students are strongly encouraged to practice outside of class time in order to make good progress.
