This course deals with a very wide range of features of Bahasa Indonesia. It covers all important aspects of the grammar system. It also describes its sound system and pronunciation 'traps' for English-speaking learners, the history of Indonesian, the massive influence of foreign languages on its vocabulary (e.g. from Sanskrit, Arabic, Dutch and English), and the main features of colloquial Indonesian. A number of other topics are also included. All classes are taught in mixture of lecture and workshop style, i.e. as teacher- presentation interspersed with student activities.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Analyse phonological features of a voice recording by a foreign learner, employing knowledge of native Indonesian phonology as a yardstick.
2. Identify and appraise the functions and effects of loanwords from a variety of source languages.
3. Analyse a wide variety of syntactic and morphological structures.
4. Evaluate the effects of social context upon choice of linguistic features, and analyse features of requesting and thanking behaviour.
5. Evaluate the relationship between historical periods and language development in Indonesia, the political importance of language planning in Indonesia, and the cultural norms influencing requesting and thanking behaviour in Indonesian.

Staff Feedback

Students will be given feedback in the following forms in this course:

• Written comments
• Verbal comments
• Feedback to the whole class, to groups, to individuals, focus groups

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Assessment Task 1

First class test

The test is conducted in class on Tuesday 31 March, and is 110 minutes in length. Students answer around ten questions, requiring responses ranging in length from around 70 words to 200 words. All questions are directly on the content of the class sessions of Weeks 1--4. The questions will not test your knowledge of material outside the Wattle handouts from the class sessions.

Type of questions to expect: The questions require knowledge about Indonesian, and in some cases, detailed and specific knowledge about it. However, they will not directly test your ability to use the language. So you will not be asked questions such as: "Say this in Indonesian: "I have never worn that shirt". "Kemeja itu _____________".

Sample questions. These examples below are simply to familiarise you with the type of questions, so these specific questions below will not necessarily be in the test.

"General test instruction: Give sufficient examples to show firm knowledge of each point."

Q: What vowels exist in Indonesian, and what are the most challenging features of this set of sounds for English-native-speaking learners? [120 wds max]

Q: What are the widely-cited rules for where word stress falls in Indonesian? To what extent are these rules reliable? [160 words max]

Q: What legacy of Sanskrit loanwords did the period of Indian influence (approx. 0-1200 CE) leave on the vocabulary of Indonesian? [80 wds max]

Q: A well-known catchphrase is "bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar". What types of features are not "baik dan benar", according to language planners? [200 wds max]

Q: Outline the functions of the two noun prefixes pe- and peN-, highlighting any important similiarities or differences between them [80 words max]

(Where feasible, marks will be returned by first week after teaching break.)

Assessment Task 2

Second class test

This test is conducted in class on Tuesday 26 May, and is 110 minutes in length. Students answer around ten questions, requiring responses ranging in length from around 70 words to 200 words. All questions are directly on the content of the class sessions of Weeks 7--10. The questions will not test your knowledge of material outside the Wattle handouts from the class sessions.

Type of questions to expect: The questions require knowledge about Indonesian, and in some cases, detailed and specific knowledge about it. However, they will not directly test your ability to use the language. So you will not be asked questions such as: ""Change this sentence into informal Indonesian: "Saya ingin membeli mobil itu."

Sample questions. See "First class Test" information for examples of the types of questions to expect in the in-class tests. Here are further examples. Note again that these specific questions will not necessarily be in the test.

"General test instruction: Give sufficient examples to show firm knowledge of each point."

Q: What is an acronym, and a blend? Give some examples of them from various domains of life, including the military and government. [80 wds max]

Q: What are the main formal features of transitive verbs in Colloquial Jakartan Indonesian? [100 wds max]

Q: Describe the system of "yang" relative clauses. Make it clear in your answer what types of relative clauses using "yang" can be formed, and which types cannot. [180 wds max]

(Marks for this final test will be returned when first semester results are published.)
