Supporting Indonesian Language Educators Across Australia
ILEA connects educators with teaching resources, professional learning, and opportunities to build networks across Australia.
Planning for Indonesian language learning
Use these considerations to help select and adapt teaching materials for your learners.
This page provides general guidance rather than a downloadable resource catalogue.
Start with the learning purpose
Identify what learners should understand and communicate. Choose material suited to their prior knowledge, language proficiency and learning context, and check alignment with your school’s curriculum requirements.
Connect language skills
Build opportunities for listening, speaking, reading and writing around a shared topic. Support new language with models, visuals and repeated use, then give learners a clear communicative task.
Include cultural context
Select materials that reflect diverse experiences in Indonesia. Consider who created a text, its audience and purpose, and how learners can explore perspectives without relying on stereotypes.
Before using a resource
- Check language accuracy, currency and suitability for your learners.
- Review accessibility, copyright and permissions.
- Plan support and extension for different learning needs.
- Decide how learners will demonstrate their understanding.
