PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION
PIBBI is divided into five areas of study to cater for different learner
styles and interests.
Language Study
This consists of formal lectures and tutorials offered at five levels of
competency.
Indonesian Cultural
Courses
Cultural studies are a compulsory part of the program. Participants must
choose at least ONE cultural course to study from the wide range of short
courses available. Some of these are given in English, others in Indonesian
and English.
Seminars
There are two to three seminars offered on selected topics, such as:
The Indonesian Economy and Politics
Development in Indonesia
Wayang: Performance and Philosophy
Seminars are given in English
Field Assignment
Participants are required to spend around 30 hours in the first three weeks
of the program doing a field assignment related to one of the cultural
courses they are following. The subject of the field assignment is
determined after consultation with the coordinator of field assignments. It
should require some library work and interviews with informants using
Indonesian language. If the field assignment demands it, participants may
use this period to travel out of Salatiga, but the cost of any such travel
is not included in the Program fee.
The field assignment enables the participants to actively use Indonesian
language in real situations. The field assignment must be written up in a
formal essay or report before the end of the program. Level IV and V
participants must write in Indonesian, Level III either in Indonesian or
English, and Levels I and II in English. The reports will be subjected to
detailed assessment.
Excursion
There is one included excursion during each program to a destination of
special interest outside Salatiga. The excursion group is accompanied by
escorts with special knowledge of the places visited. The excursion
itinerary will be determined after the commencement of the Program. There

Level I language classes are intended for participants with little or no
previous study of Indonesian. On completion of the course, participants are
expected to be able to ask and answer questions on very familiar topics
related to daily needs such as food, drink, clothing, housing,
transportations, places of interest, families/relatives, friends, hobbies,
sports, and properties. They should be able to introduce themselves and
other people, describe and compare places, make requests, suggestions, give
advice, tell about health problems, ask and give directions, make purchases
and tell time, order a meal in a restaurant and ask for lodging. They are
also expected to be able to productively use the 1,000 word level and
receptively the 1,500 word level using the basic sentence patterns
including passive or object focus constructions, such as ïRumah ini kami
beli tahun 1970Í, and most question forms within the scope of the very
limited language experience.
Level Two
Classes at Level II are conducted in Indonesian but English is also used
for instructional purposes. On completion of the course, participants are
expected to have a vocabulary of 1,500 - 2,000 word, actively and
receptively. Participants are expected to be able to handle and sustain
simple conversations with confidence on various topics such as shopping,
finding information, describing people and places, likes and dislikes,
public services, entertainment, arts and culture, etc. Grammar items and
language functions are discussed and practised within the context of topics
in each of the sixteen units covered in the book. The grammar items include
prefixes and suffixes commonly used in the topics. Language functions such
as asking for prices, giving directions, describing, etc. are selected on
the bases of their frequency. Classes are limited to 6 or 8 to facilitate
the practising of spoken-forms and speech patterns already covered in the
lecture. Oral language skills are fostered by means of pair-work.
Level Three
Classes at Level III use English as an aid to instruction rather than as
the sole instructional medium. Participants who satisfactorily complete
Level III are expected to be able to discuss particular interests related
to talking about the environment, the past the present and the future, the
role of women, the family, current news and advertisements, the country and
the city, healthy life, different jobs and the workplace, human
relationships and exchange programs, interesting places, customs and
traditions, and developments in technology. They are also expected to have
good control of structures such as the affixes, active-passive
constructions, conditionals, imperatives, reduplication of words, direct
and indirect sentences, and intersentencial connectives at the intermediate
to pre-advanced level.
Participants at this level should reach a vocab of around 2,000 words and
use them productively and 2,500 receptively with errors that do not
interfere with understanding and rarely disturb the native speaker. There
will be a lot of practice in and out of the classrooms on talking about
preferences, likes and dislikes, giving explanations, asking and giving
opinions, agreeing and disagreeing, describing people, objects and places,
talking about plans and possibilities, discussing abilities, comparing,
expressing pros and cons, persuading, giving advice, and expressing hopes
and wishes.
Level Four
Classes at Level IV are conducted entirely in Indonesian. Participants at
this level should have good listening and speaking command of the language
and be able to engage in discussions. Participants should be willing to
actively seek information from a variety of sources outside the university.
Participants should also be able to prepare and conduct interviews in
Indonesian with minimal assistance from native speakers and should also be
capable of delivering presentations in Indonesian and conducting discussion
and questions relating to the chosen topic. On completion of this level,
participants are expected to be able to use the language fluently on levels
normally pertinent to professional needs. They are also expected to be able
to understand and participate in any conversation within the range of their
own personal and professional experience with a high degree of fluency and
correct choice of vocabulary.
Level Five
Classes at Level V are conducted entirely in Indonesian and are project
oriented. This level is intended for advanced learners of Indonesian,
teachers, academics, researchers and other professional people who require
Indonesian for their careers. Participants will be required to read

television, conduct interviews, participate in discussions, present and/or
write a short paper/report in Indonesian on a chosen subject/theme.
