After
learners have mastered the communication, listening, reading and writing skills taught at the Basic level and their vocabulary

their vocabulary. They expand their grammatical and lexical knowledge through reading and writing articles and participating
in discussions and presentations.

Our teaching and learning program
Small classes of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 person(s) will enable
you to get more intensive attention from the teacher and do practice more intensively. We strongly believe that language
is a mean of communication. That's why, we take the Communicative Approach as the base of our teaching (and learning)
methods, and techniques as reflected on the highly communicative activities applied in the classes. You will be provided with
topics, materials, examples, and practices taken from the real communication and to be practiced as a real communication as
well.
With the Direct Method, you will be trained to
identify and acquire concepts of words and expressions of the Indonesian language/Bahasa Indonesia (including formal and colloquial
Indonesian language which is widely used in daily conversation). That way, you will be accustomed to thinking in Indonesian
way of thinking, and to producing Indonesian without translating from your native language. To lead you to come to that stage,
various teaching aids are used which will also put a lot of fun to your Indonesian Language learning program.
