| "This innovative CD-ROM teaches
Indonesian by using interactive activities such
as video, sound and animation, which bring the language
and it's culture to life for the students. They
can watch a video where Indonesian is used in everyday
situations. They can also take on the role of the
main actors and record themselves speaking in Indonesian.
They can learn about life in Indonesia by playing
games, using photographs and doing quizzes. I have
no doubt that students' skills and motivation will
be greatly enhanced by this resource that brings
the Indonesian language and culture to life so effectively."

resource which demonstrates the NSW Department of
Education and Training's deep commitment to increasing
the number of students learning Indonesian and ensuring
they develop high order language skills. Album Indonesia
is a product of the amalgamation of the Department
of Education and Training's expertise in the teaching
and learning of languages and Planet Learning's
skill in multimedia production." |

| "Album Indonesia offers learners
an attractively presented window on Indonesian language
and culture in authentic real-life situations. The
video dialogues showing young Australians interacting
with Indonesian friends in Indonesia are unique,
and the supporting material is accessible, accurate
and fun to use. The CD-Rom format has the great
advantage of allowing learners to make progress
at their own pace, with as much practice and reinforcement
as they individually require. Thoroughly recommended
on all counts." |
