Australia Awards Indonesia

Pre-Departure Training (EAP Program)

Prior to departure to Australia, awardees are required to attend English for Academic Purposes (EAP) training. This will be undertaken by the Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (IALF) in Jakarta or Denpasar.

The aim of EAP training is to prepare students for study in Australia. AusAID will provide all scholarship recipients with an appropriate level of EAP training in Indonesia. The length of EAP training will be determined by the level of English language proficiency of the student and EAP training will range from 6 weeks to 39 weeks.

All ADS participants are required to commit to the following:

• attend at least 90% of scheduled classroom hours of training;
• participate fully in all pre-departure training activities;
• be on time for class and spend an appropriate number of hours studying independently and in small groups in the IALF Resource Centre;
• develop English language, cross-cultural skills and independent learning skills as much as possible during pre-departure training;
• use English at every opportunity at the IALF;
• complete all tasks assigned during the course (these will form your Portfolio which you will be expected to take to Australia and to make available to the IAP course provider when you arrive at your university. This is very important to provide IAP instructors with evidence of what you have covered in Pre-Departure Training);
• work in cooperation with other members of the group/cohort to develop positive dynamics and build a successful group learning environment; and
• respond thoughtfully and honestly during course evaluations. This will enable IALF and Australia Awards Scholarships to monitor and improve the relevance and effectiveness of the course.

In addition all participants are expected to abide by the IALF codes of conduct in respect of:

• the use of mobile phones;
• computer and internet use, including regular checking of their ialf.edu email account; and
• noise levels in the IALF resource centre; and, the wearing of their IALF/ID tags on IALF premises.
