Indonesian – School of Asian Languages and Studies
Indonesian (and its close relation Malaysian) is spoken by over 200 million people in
Southeast Asia and is widely taught in Tasmanian schools.
Successful completion of a major in Indonesian provides a student with the ability to
speak, read and write standard and colloquial styles of the language. Additionally,
students gain familiarity with 20th-century Indonesian literature (its history and
development, important writers and major works), popular culture and performing arts.
Use of the language within the context of contemporary Indonesian social, cultural and
political life is emphasised with some of the materials drawn from newspapers and
magazines.
In-country program
Units at level 200/300 offered at Padang in Sumatra allow a student to fully or partially
complete the requirements for the second and third year of a major in Indonesian in a
summer semester.
Students with prior knowledge of the language, students from Indonesia, Malaysia or
Singapore, or native speakers of Indonesian should consult the head of the Indonesian
section before enrolling in Indonesian.

Notes
Degree students may not enrol in a lower and a higher level of the same language
concurrently.
Degree students may not enrol in a lower level after they have passed a higher level of the
same language.
HMN100 and HMN201, 202 (or HMN203 and HMN204) are intended to give students
control of the standard language in both its written and spoken forms, and use oral drills
and the reading of texts in modern Indonesian.
The third-year units HMN302 (or 306), 303, 308 build on these skills and develop the
students’ ability to express themselves in both written and spoken Indonesian. The
third-year units HMN304, 305 (or 307) are designed to advance the students’ knowledge of
Indonesian literature and culture.
Students with a high score in TCE Indonesian Stage 4 or equivalent, upon the
recommendation of the head of the Indonesian section, should enrol in the second year
Indonesian units. This, however, does not mean that students so enrolled will
automatically receive credit for first year.
Native, near native or advanced speakers should enrol in level 300 units in consultation
with the head of the section.
Honours
Prerequisite for entry into Indonesian Honours is a major in Indonesian with a GPA of 7.0
or higher, in addition to the faculty prerequisites.
