Vidnoz

Looking for an innovative approach to inspire students who might be hesitant to engage verbally in Indonesian? Explore the Vidnoz free online Talking Avatar Creator, a dynamic tool that can make language learning fun and interactive. With a diverse range of avatars to choose from or the option to craft their own, students can unleash their creativity.
In the free version, students can input up to 300 characters of text for their avatar to articulate. The platform then generates a captivating video, complete with a moving mouth, which can be easily downloaded for personal keeping or sharing with peers.
It's worth noting that Indonesian is categorized as a "PRO" language, requiring a premium account. However, a convenient workaround exists — opt for Malay, listed as a free language. The resulting output is remarkably similar to Indonesian, ensuring a seamless experience for language learners. Empower your students to overcome language barriers and foster a vibrant language-learning environment with Vidnoz's Talking Avatar Creator.

The Languages Roadshow organisation, founded by Kelly Harrison, is a professional development and classroom resources provider and developer in the area of foreign languages education. The main focus of the organisation is to advocate the   Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) pedogogy to languages learning. Whilst it is predominantly a subscription-based service, currently costing $395 per year for access to online professional development opportunities and a database of  generic and language-specific classroom resources utilising the CLIL methodology, it also offers a sample selection of useful resources for free on its website.  To access the free downloads on the "Resources" page of the Languages Roadshow website, click on the logo below. I would also recommend that you visit other pages on the website to get an overall feel of the full range of services provided by Languages Roadshow.

Cinta Bahasa

Cinta Bahasa is an Indonesian-language school with branches located in Ubud and Sanur on the island of Bali. They offer some reasonably-priced programs starting with a two-hour Short 'Crash' Course and extending through to a six-month Language Program. Only the two-hour crash course is suitable for Australian school groups visiting Bali as the  longer programs would involve necessity of a temporary residents visa and these  are specifically targeted  towards expats living in Bali. If you can work around these limitations, explore the possibilities and programs offered by Cinta bahasa by clicking on the logo below.

Many of you may be familiar with and have used the Cartoon Story Maker software that is available from the Victorian Government's Language Online website. I have used this software to create a number of cartoons for my Indonesian classes. However, the software has some limitations as to the number of characters and background scenes available, although you are able to import your own additional characters and scenes if you wish. How would you feel, however, if you were able to create your own cartoons online with access to 325 characters, 225 scenes, 45,000 images and the ability to upload your own selection of images as well???

Online translators can be a very useful tool for those who already have a good working knowledge of the target. However, in the hands of the uninitiated (as most school learners tend to be), the resultant translation is invariably  far from correct. I have often wondered if there is an appropriate methodology for teaching students how to engage effectively with online translators. PhD student, Penny Coutas from Murdoch University in Western Australia, recently alerted me to a useful article from the Modern Language Teachers of Western Australia website. While this article does not provide any definitive solutions, it does provide some very good activities to engage our post-compulsory learners. To access the article, click on the link below.

Education Services Australia (ESA)  has recently created the Language Learning Space (Indonesian).  It is designed for teachers and students in Australian schools. It is free. You will find a range of great learning pathways or challenges (built to support the new Australian curriculum) bookended by some graphic novel elements which we think will be very appealing to students.  There are 350 resources in the Resource Bank and lots of resources created for the site including:
               a series of videos called Bahasa Bytes

               a host of materials created for the site by Languages Online
               materials created by WestOne in WA
The functionality of the site enables you to easily enrol your classes, to upload your own resources, create quizzes, create your own challenges and monitor the progress of your students.
There’s  a free tutor service so you can book your students (individuals or small groups or whole classes) into a Skype (or alternative) session with native speakers in Bali.
You will need to register to use the bulk of the site but the professional learning topics are public-facing. Registration, along with everything else on the site, is free. You will find professional learning topics such as how to set up and promote an Indonesian language program, explorations of key elements of the Australian curriculum, how to manage learner diversity, how to build in a focus on Indonesia in the areas of English, Literacy, the Arts, History and Geography and so on.
There are some great videos showing classrooms at work.
The site was developed to complement the resource we created and funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Education. You can access the site by clicking on the logo below which will take you the teacher logon page where you can register and create an account using your employee email address  as proof that you are an Australian-based teacher.
