Abstract

This article review is part of my research to design a learning model for Korean students at Jakarta International School. Korean students have a basic need to use Indonesian because they have lived in Indonesia for some time and even attended junior high school education in Indonesia. From the initial survey, it was found that they did not speak Indonesian but spoke Korean to their family members. Even though they watch TV in Indonesian and read information in Indonesian on their androids, their speech impediments remain limited. On average, they have lived in Indonesia for more than two years. Opportunities to use Indonesian are limited to housekeepers, gardeners, drivers, school security guards, and school canteen staff. The rest still use Korean to their fellow Korean children. Indonesian language lessons at school are only two hours per week for 90 minutes per meeting. Writing this article aims to 1) map the ability of Korean students to learn Indonesian, and 2) measure students’ learning needs to speak Indonesian. The data for this article were obtained through observation, interviews with teachers, and speaking tests in Indonesian. The results of the study concluded that the obstacles students did not adopt Indonesian quickly were due to several reasons; 1) Indonesian language lessons are very limited, 2) they do not socialize widely in the play environment, 3) the language of instruction at school is generally Korean, 4) they do not have the widest possible opportunity to speak Indonesian, including at home.
