Brad%20Fischer%20--%20Learning%20Plan%20--%20Indonesia.docx
I am a novice low for interpersonal communication, interpretive listening, interpretive reading, presentational speaking, and presentational writing. That being said, I have been communicating (a little) in Indonesian with my language learning partner.
By the end of the semester, I want to be able to be at a Beginner (Level 2) on the Levels of Competence list. I want to be a Beginner (Level 2) for my interpretive (for listening and reading), interpersonal (for speaking), and presentational (for speaking and writing). I know that this is a tall order, but I am confident in my motivation to learn this language and my partner’s patience and skills to succeed in this task.
In the future, I want to continue taking Bahasa Indonesia at U of R until I graduate, and perhaps continue my learning process for a while after that. I believe that Indonesian will be a big part of my life moving forwards. Moreover, this skill may help me down the line in terms of landing a job. I also have a personal stake in this. My girlfriend (who is my language learning partner) is from Indonesia. Therefore, I want to be able to learn Bahasa Indonesia to be able to communicate with her in an alternative matter, as well as with her family.
My assessment of my task at hand is that I know it will be a difficult start, but one that I know will push me to succeed because of my relevant goals. Once I get this base for the language down, I can then move on to more challenging aspects of the language.
