Bahasa Indonesia in Bali

Placement

Prior to course commencement you will sit a placement test consisting of a brief interview and written test. On the basis of your result you will be placed in the study group most appropriate to your level. The maximum number of students in a group is 12.

Language Course

There are six levels currently available:

• Beginner
• Elementary
• Pre-Intermediate
• Intermediate
• Upper-Intermediate
• Advanced

Each level (40 hours of tuition) follows a theme-based syllabus with tasks designed to encourage you to use your newly-acquired language in real life communication. Grammar and vocabulary are taught as a means of facilitating communication rather than ends in themselves.

Cultural Studies

The cultural studies program comprises a series of lectures and workshops led by experts in the respective fields. Topics include: Tourism in Bali, Dance and Music, Indonesian Business Ethics, Cultural Dos and Don'ts. There is also a full day trip at the weekend with an itinerary designed in liaison with the students. What better way to study Indonesian!

Classes are usually conducted from Monday to Friday in the mornings, leaving the afternoons and weekends free for the cultural program and socialising with your host family.
