INDONESIAN LANGUAGE COURSE
INDONESIAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM FOR CLASS IN YOGYAKARTA
At Wisma Bahasa we offer 7 proficiency levels of Bahasa Indonesia. To know one’s proficiency level of Bahasa Indonesia, we suggest every learner to take an assessment test before they start. Especially for those who has been spoken Indonesian. From the result of the test, we will know from what level learner must start. The duration of the test will be around one hour. Below is description of every level:
Level 1A – provides learners with the skills needed to use words or phrases such as greetings and to recognize some public notices or signs.
Level 1B – provides learners with the skills needed to use a limited range of language adequate for basic communication.
Level 2A – provides learners with the skills needed to use a basic range of language, which is adequate for brief, practical communication.
Level 2B – provides learners with the skills needed to use a wide range of language sufficient for familiar and non-pressuring situations.
Level 3A – provides learners with the skills needed to use the language adequately in familiar situation and to communicate general messages.
Level 3B – provides learners with the skills needed to use the language competently in a variety of situations. Communication is sufficiently effective spoken.
Level 4 – provides learners with the skills needed to use the language effectively in most situations with minimal difficulties. Communication is effective and fluently spoken.
THE METHOD OF TEACHING LEARNING
We believe in communicative language teaching and, therefore, class activities are based on the communicative approach in order to enable learners to communicate in, rather than to analyze, the target language. English is usually only used as a last resort. To make learners feel at ease and well motivated when learning the target language, we make use of an eclectic range of techniques. Methods, such as Silent Way and Total Physical Response, supplement the main approach in those situations where they can be more helpful in mastering language skills.
We are not so much teachers, as friends. We do not teach the language, but instead create situations in which learners enjoy communicating in the target language. Hospitality is our principle. It is why we do not name our institution a college or school, but a home of language, “Wisma Bahasa”.
MATERIALS
Wisma Bahasa has produced standard material for general purposes and interests in learning Bahasa Indonesia. For specific purposes, Wisma Bahasa would be glad to design a certain syllabus and to prepare specific material without any additional cost. There for student must fill in the enrollment form as complete as possible in order to make our teaching division able to prepare best syllabus.

However, a class may consist of up to four participants as long as they have the same level of proficiency in language.
