OVERVIEW
Designed to encompass six lessons, though readily adaptable to a greater number of
lessons, this task requires groups of students to research a province, major city or
island in Indonesia. Points of interest are identified by individual members of the
group to research further. Such points of interest may include but are not limited to
cities, economic base, modes of transport, tourist locations, entertainment facilities,
and cultural specialties such as dance, religion, food, art, history.
Student research is collaborated on and refined using Google Docs, then presented on
their group wiki page - a classroom wiki the students have constructed for the project.
Headings, keywords and an introduction to their page must be in Indonesian, but the
research content is in English. Google Docs and the wiki itself allow the teacher to
monitor student editing and progress, and give feedback where necessary.
Student groups then design an outing or activity based on their research in English and
add this to their wiki page.
Student groups are then required to create a role-play in Indonesian inspired by or
relevant to their outing to present in front of the class and submit in written format on
their wiki page.
An Indonesian language question and answer session following the role-play
performance must be prepared for in advance by students, with a proposed question
and how the student would answer submitted to the wiki prior to the performance.
