INDO3202 Upper Intermediate Indonesian Part 2

This topic further extends all core language learning skills, with a particular focus on listening. During the semester a short documentary or fiction film is studied each week, with a focus on presenting works that are contemporary and that reflect Indonesia's cultural and linguistic diversity. Associated required readings are completed before viewing the films. Students take turns to give classmates an introduction to the films screened. Outside of class time, students discuss the films through assessed written discussions on FLO.

• Develop more advanced language skills in the core areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking
