Task description
General: This assessment is designed to give you a reason and opportunity to put into practice all the Indonesian you have learned across both semesters, including what we have done in class and the weekly online activities that you do outside of class. It is especially concerned with reinforcing and developing your listening and speaking skills. This assessment is also designed to give you a tool that you can use in unfamiliar contexts (often referred to as learn-how-to-learn tools). In this case, the tool is interviewing. At the same time, this assessment is also designed to encourage you to form positive social relationships with Indonesian students who are studying on campus.
Instructions: Interview an Indonesian friend or acquaintance in Indonesian about their life history and likes and dislikes. The interview should take you no longer than ten minutes to complete and then around a further two hours to transcribe. Ensure that you transcribe everything that is said including false starts, mispronunciations, and so on. There is no word length limit on your transcript and the length will depend on how succinct and understandable your questions are and the length of your interviewee's responses. The following are the questions you need to ask them. You can change the order that you ask them, just remember that you need to ask all these questions:
- Their age.
- Where they were born.
- The primary and secondary schools they attended.
- Where they have lived, now and in the past.
- Which Indonesian languages do they speak.
- Where they have worked.
- Their hobbies and exercise regimes (e.g., cycling, walking, gym, hiking, surfing).
- Their favourite food.
- Whether they have pets and if so why.
- A description of their pet and their activities with their pet.
- What subjects they study at UQ.
- What they hope to do when they graduate.
- The names and ages of their siblings.
- What their siblings do.
- The names and ages of their parents.
- Where their parents were born and where they have lived, their parents’ ethnic groups and what languages their parents speak.
- What their parents do for work.
- The names and ages of their grandparents.
- Where their grandparents were born and where they have lived.
- What their grandparents did/do for work.
There are seven steps you need to follow to complete this field report:
- Familiarize yourself with the assessment rubric for this piece of assessment. Ask questions about what you are unsure of in the last ten minutes of class.
- Start to think about how you will go about finding an Indonesian to interview in Indonesian. Remember to let them know: a) why you want to interview them (i.e. to get to know an Indonesian and to practice your Indonesian); b) what you will do with the recording (i.e. transcribe it an present it as an assignment to your lecturer); and c) how you will store the recording and transcript securely and not let anyone except you, them, and your lecturer have access to it.
- Download a voice recording app to your mobile phone or ensure that you have one installed. Learn how to use it, e.g., can the recording be slowed down to help you listen to it.
- Do the interview and record it. Store your recording securely so that only you can access it and remember that you cannot share this recording with anyone else except me.
- Familiarize yourself with Table 3 from pages xvii-xviii of the Kamus Indonesia-Inggris (third edition) by John Echols and Hassan Shadily published in 1992 by PT Gramedia in Jakarta. There is a copy of this located in the resources folder in the Learn UQ site for this assignment.
- Listen to the recording of your interview and in a tabular format represent what you hear as accurately as you can, and in a way that closely matches the orthographic conventions described in the Kamus Indonesia-Inggris dictionary noted in step 5.
- Once you have finished, arrange another time to meet with the Indonesian you interviewed to collaboratively go over your transcript to check the accuracy of it.
This assessment task is to be completed in-person. The use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT) tools will not be permitted. Any attempted use of AI or MT may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Submission guidelines
You can submit your interview transcript entitled “interview transcript” with a file name such as “interview transcript_[your name]” via the Turnitin link named “interview” within the Learn UQ site for this subject. You will need to email me the actual recording because Turnitin does not accept recording fi le formats. Both the recording and your interview transcript need to be submitted by the due date.
Deferral or extension
You may be able to apply for an extension.
The maximum extension allowed is 14 days. Extensions are given in multiples of 24 hours.
Only 14 days extensions are allowed because completion of this assessment is a prerequisite to being able to do your final presentation assignment. Feedback will be given out on this assignment in week 11.
Late submission
A penalty of 10% of the maximum possible mark will be deducted per 24 hours from time submission is due for up to 7 days. After 7 days, you will receive a mark of 0.
