Toward a task-based textbook for Indonesian language learning

Abstract

In this textbook review I summarize and evaluate the content, objectives, target audience, structure, and activities of a free online and in-print language resource for Indonesian language learning and teaching. In particular, I review how the figures from the textbook illustrate an interactive, contemporary, and authentic approach to language learning through a communicative, and potentially taskbased textbook. My goal is, through this textbook review, to inform Indonesian language instructors of this great resource. I encourage Indonesian language instructors to implement this free online and inprint resource for teaching and learning Indonesian with their students.
