Message from the Director

,

     Through years, our team has tried to invent a new method of teaching Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian Language) as a second language by combining Indonesian teaching materials with educational psychology methods.

     Having dealt with teaching the Indonesian language to foreigners for over than 5 years, we have an idea to put the students in a real-time experience which we think as the best teaching method. It is possible that, at first, non-Indonesian-native speakers find it easy to learn the language since it has less grammatical rules comparing to foreign languages, for example, English. It is also very flexible. However, later on, they might think differently. Because of its flexibility, it is likely that certain “theory” is inappropriate to be applied to certain situation – as the society speaks differently (from the theory or rule.) So, not only flexible, but the Indonesian language is also situation-based context. In regard to this issue, we are committed to ourselves to bring the students on the nearly-real event/situation when the Indonesian language is spoken. We always update the material by adjusting it to nowadays context. Our instructors are merrier than happy to help learning their first language in- or outside the class. It is all for the students to be ready to be in contact with the Indonesian society for real where improvisation in using the language is necessary. In short, we’ll give them what they ask for, plus self-confidence as well as familiarity with the situation.
