Continuation of INDN2000 Intermediate Indonesian A. Extends students' communication skills in Indonesian, focusing equally on the four skills of reading, writing, speaking & listening.
Intermediate Indonesian B (INDN2001) is a continuation of the first semester course Intermediate Indonesian A (INDN2000). In this course you will continue to develop your Indonesian language skills for educational and recreational purposes and become an increasingly independent learner of Indonesian, one who is able to access a wide range of available sources in both print and electronic media with confidence. Through the guided study of authentic Indonesian materials, Intermediate Indonesian B seeks to enhance your competence in reading, writing, listening to and speaking Indonesian.

Aims and outcomes
INDN2001 aims to further develop the reading, listening, speaking and writing skills that you have worked on in INDN2000. By the end of the semester, you can expect to be able to communicate in a way that demonstrates nuanced knowledge of Indonesian ways of interacting (e.g., the importance of hierarchy) and how this relates to ethnic, religious and political diversity in Indonesia. Much of what we will do will be transferable to other contexts, including a specialist knowledge of diversity in Indonesia and how it relates to popular culture and political, social, and economic life, and take responsibility for your own learning through activities such as sourcing and evaluating information in order to presenting a clear, coherent and independent exposition on one of Indonesia’s ethnic groups.
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

LO2.
Synthesise, evaluate, and present on a contemporary issue in written and spoken forms within the topic areas covered in the course.
LO3.
Demonstrate knowledge of how Indonesian is used to create hierarchy and familiarity, and how all of this relates to Indonesias many other languages.
LO4.
Demonstrate a critical and active approach towards your own learning of the Indonesian language and associated sociocultural aspects.

Task description
General: This assessment is designed to give you a reason and opportunity to put into practice 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 and your understanding of pluralism in Indonesia as it relates to language use. This assessment is 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 to find out how they say “I” and “you” within their family, friendship, and work circle. 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 how long your interviewee's responses are. More specifically, in your interview you will need to find out how they say “I” and “you” in their interactions with:
- Brothers
- Sisters
- Father
- Mother
- Uncles
- Aunts
- Cousins
- Grandfather
- Grandmother
- Friends
- Girlfriend/boyfriend/partner/significant other
- Work colleagues
- Work superiors (e.g., supervisors, boss)
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
Submit the recorded interview and transcript. 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 file 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.

There are three hours of classes per week all conducted in tutorial style. You should attend all scheduled classes for this course - if you have extenuating circumstances (illness, carer responsibilities, etc.) which may interfere with your attendance, please see the Course Coordinator. There are no formal lectures. Classroom activities stress active practice of spoken Indonesian used in conversational situations, reading and also writing. Most of the class time will require you to interact with other learners.
It is important that you attend classes regularly and participate actively. Learning a language is a skill and, like learning a musical instrument or a new sport, it requires regular practice. In addition to class contact hours, you will need to spend at least another five hours each week, seeking out opportunities to practice your Indonesian with native speakers, familiarising yourself with new vocabulary and revising previous lesson material.
