Australian Indonesian Association of Victoria, Learn Bahasa Indonesia, Melbourne, Australia

Five to six classes (introductory through to advanced) are headed as usual by Mr Tata SURVI in Rooms  2108, 2112, 2113, 2115 & 2117 (signposted in entrance) from 6.30 to 8.30 pm on Tuesdays during the Victorian School terms.
Hawthorn Institute of Education/University of Melbourne
Woodburn Road entrance (off Auburn Road), Hawthorn, Vic-3122 (Melway 59 E2)

Classes follow 2012 Victorian School Term Dates.

Class fees are $32-50c per 2-hour session (includes a 15-minute break two-thirds of the way through). To ease the administrative burden, payment is required no later than at the start of the first class for the term, and lessened on a pro rata basis if starting the term in a subsequent week. Payment in instalments is no longer acceptable. The total payable is reducible by 10% only if paid for the full term before the first class of the term, e.g. the $292-50 fee for the 1st Term of 9 weeks is reducible by 10% to $263-25 = $29-25/session. This discount does not apply if attending fewer classes through starting the term late or by virtue of some other arrangement (see below).

There is no other concessional rate. There are a few circumstances in which a participant, who knows in advance that he or she cannot attend certain of the classes, may be able to arrange attendance and payment on some other basis. Outright beginners are not normally permitted to commence the term later than its first session. Refunds are not made for casual absences; and withdrawals from classes in a particular term only qualify the participant for a credit usable in one of the following two terms of 50% of the fee paid for remaining classes unattended in the term in question.

Most classes will be prescribed an Indonesian grammar book and a work book available from Nusantara Bookshop. These may also be purchased at a discount through the AIAV. The advanced class instead uses handouts given to participants each Tuesday evening. Depending on the overall numbers enrolling for each term, there will be five or six classes, giving ample sensitivity to the stage which participants have reached in their command of the language.

The AIAV requires all class participants to be members of the Association (application form downloadable from www.aiav.org.au) , so that they come under the insurance cover it has for its activities. It also requires a phone number and e-mail address for each participant in case of any emergency preventing the holding of class. It is also always helpful to know in advance if you cannot attend a particular class. Other attractions of membership range from monthly conversation evenings (Malam Ngobrol) to talks, dinners, the AIA News and the AIAV’s own gamelan orchestra, Permai.

Introductory Class

This class for outright beginners is useful for those who want to eventually progress towards fluency but in the meantime would like to acquire some travel basics. This means paying attention to pronunciation of the language and learning greetings, exclamations, terms of address, family relationships, eating, public transport, health, shopping and physical activities. It is conducted by Bu Ratna Wijaya and has a prescribed text and workbook. Unlike all the following levels which may be joined at any juncture of the term, this class may only be joined on the first night of each term.

Post Introductory Classes A & P

These two classes are conducted at more or less the same level by Bu Anita Sartika Dewi and Pak Paulus Sarwoto for participants who have some familiarity with Indonesian but are not yet ready to proceed to the sub-Intermediate or Intermediate class. These classes are still conducted in English, but participants using the same workbook prescribed for the introductory class, are encouraged to write and speak in Indonesian and covering the subject material of the introductory class at a more sophisticated level.

Sub-Intermediate and Intermediate Classes

These two classes are conducted by Bu Cucu Juwita and Pak Faizul Nurlawis. In these classes instruction occurs in both languages, frequently Indonesian followed by an explantion in English. Conversation covers a range of topics, enabling an impressive acquisition of vocabulary suited to all sorts of daily activites. Learning is aided by occasional role playing and the use of a range of materials including textbooks, media articles, films, poetry and songs.

For Advanced Students

The advanced class with Pak Tata Survi is particularly useful for teachers of Indonesian in Australian schools seeking reinforcement in an adult conversational context and for others outside the teaching profession who wish to maintain or improve an already good standard of Indonesian. The advanced classes are conducted almost entirely in Indonesian, with resort to English only to aid explanation or understanding of finer points of grammar or vocabulary. Material covered includes print and video current affairs, feature articles dealing with political, social and economic issues, advertising, Indonesian films, poetry and popular music. Cross-cultural discussion in Indonesian is a regular feature.
