Topics covered may include challenges facing the new generation, migrant workers, contemporary nationalism and tackling environmental problems. Authentic materials such as short stories and media reports – and the key issues these materials raise – will be investigated through increasingly sophisticated Indonesian language use in class discussions, presentations and essays and short translation exercises.

- have expanded their knowledge of grammar appropriate for formal writing styles;
- be able to translate short literary excerpts from Indonesian to English with the aid of a dictionary;
- gain an understanding of various issues that inform contemporary Indonesian society.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject students should:
• develop communication skills through essay writing and seminar discussion;
• develop time management and planning skills;
• develop ability to work collaboratively
• develop ability to present argumentation and analysis in a foreign language
