Are you starting to plan your Indonesian curriculum for 2023?

I am excited to announce that a brand-new resource for secondary teachers of Indonesian is about to hit the shelves. At the time of writing, the Indonesian Sentence Builder; A lexicogrammar approach for Beginners to Pre-Intermediate book is being printed. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to co-author the book with Gianfranco Conti and Dylan Viñales, with the expertise of Ibu Cici Lang to reference as our editor.

The Sentence Builder book provides a comprehensive framework upon which to build your Indonesian Language Program and has been developed to reflect the Australian Curriculum. The 19 units in the book are suitable for use to develop a three year program for students in Year 7 to Year 9. Interspersed within the units are 16 Grammar Time sentence builders and related exercises. There are also Revision Quickie and Question Skills sections. Each unit has an associated Vocabulary Test which has two levels.

The Indonesian Sentence Builder book is perfect to use with the SentenceBuilder.com website. The material from the sentence builders contained in the book are being uploaded to the Sentence Builder website enabling your students to interact further with the material from the book.

To be a global citizen in these times is challenging and we should be prepared to engage with and be curious about those around us. As teachers of languages, we encourage our students to connect with not only the language they are learning, but also the people and culture which intertwines through it. Participation in learning languages strengthens connections between people and leads to understanding, tolerance and respect for differences.
