Nah, Baca! Authentic Indonesian readings (vol. 2, teacher’s edition plus readings packet)

This Teacher’s Edition accompanies Nah, Baca! Volume Two, which offers thirty-two lessons, based on readings selected from the contemporary press, for the teaching of Indonesian as a second language. The accompanying graded set of readings in the Reading Packet begin at the intermediate-mid level and proceed to texts at the advanced level. The intermediate-mid texts are instructional, having a non-complex underlying structure and support from pictures and formatting. These texts include announcements, articles from news and popular magazines, and government pamphlets. The advanced level texts include short stories and essays, offering longer stretches of discourse with description and narration where there is some assumed knowledge of Indonesian culture and history. Volume Two, which is designed for a second year language course at the university level, is intended as a supplement to a basic Indonesian language text. Nah, Baca! teaches only the reading skill, while other skills (i.e., speaking, listening, and writing) are integrated into the post-reading exercises but not directly taught.
