Program participants may enroll for any course for which they meet the prerequisites. The final list of courses is given to students upon arrival in Indonesia. All students are required to enroll in Modern Indonesian Language and Contemporary Indonesian History and Society. Classroom work is combined with outside assignments performed individually or in the company of peer tutors. Language classes meet intensively for 10 weeks of the program.
Additional time is spent with peer tutors working on individual student needs or interests.
Participants are placed in appropriate language courses based on a language examination given in Malang at the beginning of the program. Beginning through advanced levels are offered. This course, designed for students with no previous Indonesian language training, emphasizes oral communication and aural comprehension. Dialogues, sentence pattern drills, and listening and grammar exercises are supplemented with simple reading and writing activities. Substantial use is made of supplementary reading materials and classroom presentations by students.
