ASILE conference presentation:
Workshop Incorporating Culture in Teaching Online Indonesian Language Classes Abstract Technology has been used as an effective teaching tool for Indonesian language learners. There is a variety of activities of how teachers can help Indonesian language learners develop their language skills through the use of technology. The newest technologies allow teachers to try things in online classrooms that were not possible before. Online Indonesian classrooms can play an integral part in providing them with valuable language experiences as they learn the language. There are specific ways of integrating culture into the online classrooms and supplementing their textbooks with cultural elements. Connecting with a native speaker from the country itself and practicing the language is a more personal and interesting way for them to learn about the language. Experience with the target culture helps to develop context and makes learning the language more meaningful. The importance of integrating culture and its teaching into Indonesian language classrooms has long been noticed. Learners can benefit from experiences they may not have access to. This workshop will demonstrate one of the ways for participants to incorporate culture into their online classrooms. The participants will be presented with realia related to three main cultures; Balinese, Madurese and Kalimantan traditional clothes. Furthermore, it will include a live Skype demonstration and the participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions and communicate with a teacher in IALF Bali, Indonesia. |
