Courses are arranged which are designed to suit the special and ever changing needs of the participants. The standard course packet is 4 hours/day or 20 hours/week (50 minutes/hour) of classroom instruction and a few hours of out of class tutorials (negotiable), with a class capacity of 6 10 students.
The progran may last from one month to five months.
Participants of this program come from the institution having an MOU with GMU. They should also take a placement test at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, GMU, to determine their level.
In addition to regular language courses, INCULS also provides special courses, special lectures, village studies, tutorials and workshops. These components make INCULS different and unique from other language programs in Yogyakarta.
A. Indonesian for Special Purposes (ISP)
This course is aimed at improving the practical knowledge of the students about the variety of Indonesian socio-cultural contexts or settings, according to which the language and customs are used.
These courses include: theory, field observation, report writing, simulation, presentation, and discussion. At the end of the course students are expected to have the skill or ability to distinguish formal Indonesian from Indonesian language for specific purposes, such as business or economics, legal, journalistic styles, or educational purposes,etc.
B. Special Lectures
These lectures provide students with an introduction to the history, arts, culture, economy, and politics of modern Indonesia. A central concern of these courses is the role of Indonesian nationalism-both as a political and as a cultural force. The aim of these courses is to develop an understanding of Indonesia and Indonesians, their past and the prospects for the future. These lectures are given by a wide range of people from various faculties of Gadjah Mada University, professors, and senior lecturers who possess specific knowledge and experience in teaching abroad in such subject as Indonesian history, arts, culture, economy, and politics.
C. Village Studies
During village studies, lasting 3 to 5 days, students stay with families in a nearby village to learn about some of the differences between rural life and the urban setting that they are already be familiar with. The aim of the study is to develop an understanding of Javanese culture and day-to-day practices.
Students will witness and participate in the daily activities, such as farming, making handicrafts, watching traditional production methods, and assisting in the homes of villagers. After the village stays, students are required to write a report depicting what they witnessed and learned. Village studies provide a realistic portrayal of much of Indonesia (since more than 85% of the population of Indonesia lives in a rural setting).
D. Workshops
Batik:
The batik module offers an intensive introduction to the art of batik production. The workshop emphasizes different techniques of creating batik paintings. Materials (cloth, wax, dyes, canting) are provided, and each student has the satisfaction of taking home beautiful results. The module is conducted in Indonesian but the students are supplied with some texts in English.
Gamelan:
Students learn some of the basic features of playing in the Javanese gamelan orchestra. At least one piece of well known, classical gamelan music will be practiced to performance standards. The module is given in Indonesian.
Self-Defense:
Practical instruction in Indonesian style self defense (termed pencak, or pencak siLat). The module covers basic postures and modes of attack and defense. It is suitable for people of all ages and includes contact with a local pencak club. The medium of instruction is Indonesian only, but since the course demands mostly imitation of movements, it is suitable for elementary level language students.
Indonesian Traditional Dance:
This includes instruction in some of the basic movements of traditional Indonesian dance, especially the Javanese dance tradition. Students in this module [earn at least two traditional dances chosen for ease of mastery within the time available. One of these will be practiced to performance standards. The module is conducted in Indonesian but it is suitable for elementary level language students because it largely involves imitation of movements.
Mask Carving:
This module offers practice in wood carving, especially in the carving of traditional Javanese Topeng (mask). Students are supplied with materials (wood) and tools such as saws, axes, machetes, carving knives, chisels, hand drills, and sandpaper.
First, there will be a demonstration of the process of making Topeng, conducted by one of the foremost carvers in Yogyakarta. Then, the students will be able to practice on their own. This module is given in Indonesian only, but it is also suitable for elementary level language students because the course only requires imitation of the use of the tools.
Janur Decoration:
Janur is a Javanese term for young coconut leaves. People in Java and Bali have long used them to make decorations for certain rituals (especially for wedding ceremonies, offerings, etc). Students in this module learn the basics of making decorations, using Janur (young coconut leaves) as the main material. The module is conducted in Indonesian but because it largely involves imitation, it is suitable for elementary level Language students.
E. Tutorials
One of the benefits of [earning Indonesian in Indonesia is the massive exposure students receive outside of the classroom setting. The tutorials are one such experience that allows the students to practice and expand upon the information their Lecturers are providing them. Each student is assigned a tutor (GMU student) for one on one learning. Tutorials are varied, as are the needs of the students, but in providing a conversation partner in this way, students are able to discuss UGM campus and the amenities it has to offer, as well as life in Indonesian famities, culture and society. Thus, tutorials offer both an indepth view of real life situations and Indonesian language practice.
F. Local Languages
INCULS also gives instruction in local languages as well as cultures (Balinese, Javanese, Sundanese, etc.). The courses are given by native speakers who possess specific knowledge and experience in teaching these subjects. Those courses are aimed at improving the practical knowledge of students in a variety of Indonesian cultures and languages. At the end of the course it is expected that students will have the skills necessary to both understand and speak the language.
