he Australia Awards Scholarships are a long-term initiative by the Australian government to provide
study and research opportunities. Australia Awards recipients receive extensive financial and
academic support to live and study at Australian universities.
Heres some Q & A about how to apply for the 2016 intake which is from Kang Guru interview with Michael
Bracher, the Deputy Director of the Australia Awards. The full interview is available to download from the
Kang Guru Indonesia website: Radio programs 8809 - 8812.
This changes a little each year, but basically the areas are quite
broad, such as education, health, finance and economics, and
disaster reduction and mitigation. I think the main message to
applicants is that if there is an area of study that you think has a
development application in your local area and if you can put
forward a good case why you should be considered for a
scholarship, then the Selection Committee will consider that.
They are always looking for people who can have that
development impact within their organisation or within their
home area. I always ask applicants to put themselves in the
position of a Selection Committee member, who has been
interviewing a lot of candidates. What they are looking for is
someone who is going to stand out, who really has what we
call factor X so that theyre going to say Aha! This person has
got what it takes.

We are very excited to announce that Kang Guru Indonesia will continue to help Indonesians
with learning English through language learning videos targeted at Indonesian learners with
limited English and limited support. The YouTube videos have dialogues in English, narration
in Bahasa Indonesia and subtitles in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. Theyll be a really fun
and simple way to learn English. The videos will be officially launched at the 25 Years of Kang
Guru Indonesia celebration in November 2014. We hope to make English learning available
to all Indonesians. And, of course, these videos will be accessible on handphones. You will be
able to access the videos via links on our website: www.kangguru.org.

Indonesia since 2002. For the past two
years, Kang Guru has been focusing on
the delivery of English Language
Teaching workshops targeting English
teachers at junior secondary schools
(Sekolah Menengah Pertama, or SMP)
and their Islamic equivalent (Madrasah
Tsanawiyah, or MTs). With an average
of 10 workshops a year, we have
worked with more than 800 teachers in
the past two years.
At the workshops, the facilitators, Ana

English Language Learning (ELL) kit

The ELL kit includes supplementary
English language learning materials
developed in line with the 2013
Indonesian curriculum.
