Indonesian Classes

Scotch College, in partnership with the Balai Bahasa Indonesia Perth (BBIP), offers evening Indonesian Beginners 1 Survival, Beginners Level 2, and Conversation classes. In Spring Term the eight-week courses will run from Tuesday 20 October – Tuesday 8 December 2020 from 6.30–8.30pm and are available to students, staff and parents, as well as members of the wider community.

Beginner Classes (Survival and Level 2) are designed for all ages to develop basic communication skills for exchanging personal information and in other practical interactions. These classes are ideal for individuals travelling to Indonesia for work or holidays, who wish to understand more about the Indonesian language and culture.

Conversation Classes are designed for intermediate and advanced speakers seeking to develop their oral communication skills via simulated immersion of Indonesian. The aim of each lesson is to expand vocabulary on particular topics and conclude with a speaking task such as a role-play, group discussion, debate or interview. Conversation Classes are recommended for speakers who are already proficient who wish to 'brush up' on their skills, as well as Year 11 and 12 students who wish to further develop their listening and speaking in preparation for the ATAR and IB examinations.

All lessons are delivered by native speaker instructors from BBIP and are held in the Kennedy Block on the Senior Campus. BBIP annual membership ($25) is necessary to enrol and the eight-week course costs $200. BBIP classes and membership are free to all current Scotch College students and staff who have taken out a BBIP annual membership can also enrol for free in the classes.
