ANU Extension Indonesian Politics and Culture A

Please direct course enquiries to Myra Abubakar at myra.mentari@anu.edu.au Indonesian has strong strategic importance for Australia and priority status in Australian education systems, yet the study of Indonesian language is in crisis. This H Course is intended to build the number of senior secondary students studying Indonesian language and culture, and to improve the quality and depth of students’ learning by providing a tertiary-level pathway between school-based education and tertiary studies. This course takes a creative and innovative approach to language teaching, content, and curriculum, drawing on the approach of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL - see course bibliography) to engage students creatively through performance-based activities, guided research into student-directed projects, and high-order content delivered in a university setting. The course will consist of two units: Youth Media and Performance, and Political Performance. International students are not able to enrol in this course. This is Part A of a 2 part course.
