motivation

This study explores the impact of a government-funded program which sought to retrain in-service teachers in regional Queensland as Indonesian language teachers through an Australian university-led program with on-campus and in-country components. The study first examines how the Indonesian for Teachers Initiative (InTI) program's diverse social learning approach to intercultural language learning cultivated the development of the teacher participants' Indonesian language skills and intercultural capability. It then identifies how participants incorporated aspects of Indonesian language and culture into their teaching post-program, contributing to the Australian Curriculum's goal of developing students' intercultural capability. Makalah ini membahas tentang dampak dari sebuah program yang dibiayai oleh pemerintah Australia untuk melatih guru-guru sekolah di sebuah wilayah di negara bagian Queensland mengajarkan bahasa dan budaya Indonesia. Program ini dilaksanakan oleh sebuah universitas Australia dengan kuliah di kampus dan kemudian dilanjutkan belajar di negara bahasa asli di Indonesia. Program ini diberi nama InTI (Inisiatip Guru-guru bahasa Indonesia). Kajian ini mulai dengan membahas caranya program InTI melibatkan pendekatan pembelajaran sosial yang beragam dalam pembelajaran bahasa sebagai sarana pengajaran lintas budaya untuk mengembangkan ketrampilan berbahasa Indonesia dan pengertian lintas budaya para peserta. Kemudian, makalah ini menjelaskan tentang usaha para peserta dalam program InTI ini melibatkan unsur-unsur budaya dan bahasa Indonesia dalam pengajaran mereka pasca - program ini, sesuai dengan tujuan Kurikulum Australia untuk memperkaya kemampuan lintas budaya siswa-siswa.
