Silakan Masuk is a unit where students learn the conventions of visiting an Indonesian home.

They become aware

of what behaviours are considered polite and how to engage in ‘small talk’ in Indonesian. If possible, visiting an Indonesian
home enables them to put into practise what they have learnt.
