SYNOPSIS

The study of Indonesian Language is intended to provide an opportunity to develop conversational and written linguistic skills in Indonesian at both colloquial and formal levels. Students will be given a strong foundation in vocabulary and grammar for comprehending the rules and conventions of contemporary language usage.

A further 750 words will be added to the students' vocabulary in this course.
