Introduction:
This is the third semester of Indonesian instruction—the first of the two semesters
of intermediate level. By now students have finished 17 chapters of the textbooks. The
emphasis of this course is increasing fluency while maintaining accuracy, reading
different types of text (poems, song lyrics, news article, and short stories). Students will
practice leading a discussion and do a presentation at the end of the semester. The cultural
component of the language learning is also emphasized through different cultural
activities.
Course objectives:
By the end of this term students will be able to:
1. Listen and speak both in informal and formal Indonesian with more advanced
vocabulary and complex structure.
2. Read and summarize short readings in Indonesian.
3. Write short essays in formal Indonesian related to the readings.
4. Lead an informal discussion on the topics of their choice.

Course evaluation:
Homework and class participation (25%)
Homework will be graded according to the scale of 1 to 100, based on spellings,
organization of ideas, vocabulary, and grammar. Students may choose to resubmit the
homework after it is graded. The maximum grade for the resubmission is 99. The
emphasis is on your writing ability. Your writing should be at least two pages, double
space.
Homework deadlines:
- First draft is due by 9 am every Monday in class. If you submit it during the week after
the deadline, your grade will be reduced up to 25% (5% off for each day after the

deadline). The system will not accept your homework beyond one week after the
deadline.
- Revised draft is due by 9 am the following Monday in class.
I do not accept homework on email.
Please safe the homework with your name on it (for example: Laura_PR1.doc)
and always include the following heading in your homework:
PR Nomer:
Nama:
Tanggal:
And if you resubmit your homework, please include this after the title (Pembetulan).
Class participation is significant. You are expected to actively participate in the class
interaction. If for some reason you miss these activities, you cannot reasonably make
them up. As a result, if you do not participate regularly you should expect to receive
lower grades in the course. And if you miss more than the equivalent of two weeks of
class you should consider withdrawing and taking the class in the future semester. If you
have any problems in speaking in front of class, please let me know, so that we could find
a way to help you.
