Indonesian at The Lakes
Good afternoon, or selamat siang. Our school introduced the Indonesian Language to Year 7 at the beginning of this year. Not only do students learn the language, they also learn about Australia ’ s closest neighbour and its diverse cultures. For many students, it has been surprising to learn that Indonesia ’ s population is over 270 million people - almost all of them speak Indonesian, and most of them speak another local language. In our once - a - week class, students learn to express ideas in Indonesian. This term we learnt how to greet people, to count, to do a short self - introduction, to express likes and dislikes, and hold a short conversation about planning to do an activity. Students also engaged with self - paced learning through an online platform, Education Perfect (EP). Many students enjoy using EP and have been showing a good learning progress. The image below shows students ’ engagement in EP learning tasks.
