Wolff John U. Formal Indonesian

2nd Rev Ed. — Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Southeast Asia Program, 1987. — xiv, 466 p.Exercises, Glossary, Index.This book contains a reference grammar with exercises and a series of reading selections with composition and conversation exercises based on them. It is aimed at students at the advanced level who have completed the book entitled Beginning Indonesian Through Self-Instruction or the equivalent (that is, have had some 300 to 400 hours of classroom work). The book is entirely self-contained, and there are recordings to accompany the oral portions of these lessons, available from the Department of Modern Languages, Cornell University. These materials stress active competence in formal styles of Indonesian -- i.e., the kind of Indonesian which would be used in schools, offices, on public occasions, and in writing, they may profitably be used in conjunction with Indonesian Readings, which stresses passive reading skills, and Indonesian Conversations, which stresses colloquial or informal styles of Indonesian.
