Learning & Teaching
07 October
On Wednesday, as part of their language class, a group of Year 11 students had the unique opportunity to chat via Microsoft Teams to six Indonesian teachers from Jakarta.
Many of these students took part in the Indonesian immersion last year, so it was a wonderful opportunity to reunite with these Indonesian teachers they met whilst in Jakarta, as well as have the chance to continue conversation practice in Indonesian.
The class was divided into four small groups to allow each student the opportunity to have the chance to try out their language – a first for Damascus College.
Mr. Brendan Bawden organised the class with the owner of the Indonesian school Ibu Niknik Kuntarto, who was just recognised in Indonesia as one of the top 40 most influential women in Indonesia. Not bad with a population of 270 million.
What a wonderfully innovative opportunity!
