Australia Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP)In late February, 18 young Indonesians returned home to their towns in Indonesia after a
four month experience that they will never forget. Their adventures began with living and
working in Australia in November/December 2010. Then in January 2011 they returned to
Indonesia to experience life in South-east Sulawesi. They headed to Wangi Wangi, a
beachside community of Wakatobi. It was here that the 18 Australian participants of AIYEP
joined the program. Then after 4 weeks in
Wakatobi they all moved on to the city of Kendari.
During their time in Wakatobi and Kendari the 36
AIYEPs gave cross-cultural performances to
schools, worked with community groups, played
sport with local youth and set up language clubs.
Together they built strong people to people
relationships with the local people plus even
stronger relationships between themselves, AND
between Indonesia and Australia. AIYEP is in its 29th year fantastic!

Can you see Suryadi amongst this
group of teachers in Oz?
S u r y a d i - working for the future!Kang Guru Indonesia first met Suryadi Ningrat in Madura
in 2005. As a keen young English teacher at Pondok
Pesantren Al Amien he set up an English language club
and joined the KGCC network of language clubs across
Indonesia. KGI soon visited his club and the relationship
really began. Suryadi went on to become actively involved
with many other AusAID education activities including
ISELP, LAPIS and ELTIS. In December 2010 he went to
Australia as a member of a LAPIS supported study tour
group visiting the University of the Sunshine Coast and
nearby schools in Queensland. Suryadi has been a Kang Guru Champion for 7 years. He
has a wonderful command of the English language. Suryadi is now developing a very
successful career in education. His dedication and genuine interest in teaching and in
helping others to become better teachers and more successful students is very strong.Just like KGIs other 6 Champions, Suryadi is highly motivated and enthusiastic about his
future. Find out more and be sure to check out KGIs video interview
with Suryadi -www.kangguru.org/kgi_podcasts_videos.html

Thanks Indonesia
Indonesian engineers, Dr. Maryono (Ministry of Public Works), Dr Abdi (University ofGadjah Mada) and Dr. Sudinda ( Agency for Disaster Management), recently spent 10days in Australia working in flood affected communities and at the GA offices inCanberra. GA is the Australian governments leading agency for understanding natural
hazard risks. Indonesia also donated $1 million dollars to help victims of the floods.
The Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Mr. Greg Moriarty said, Indonesias contribu-tion to the appeal and offers of assistance are a reflection of the close support we
provide for each other as friends and neighbours during times of natural disaster. Austra-
lia values and appreciates that relationship.
The heavy rains and floods, and a major cyclone later in February, caused tragic loss oflife, and for thousands of Australians, their houses and businesses were severely affectedby the devastating floods in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

affected house in

Pronunciation problems: How do I say this?
English spelling can be very confusing. Sometimes teachers and learners are
unsure how to pronounce certain words. What can you do? If you know a
native English speaker then you can always ask them. You can also use the
phonemic chart and a good dictionary to help you. Once teachers are sure of
the pronunciation of certain words then they can use drilling to help their
students. Look at the KGI website for some tips on using drilling successfullyin the classroom - www.kangguru.org/kgreintheclassroom.htm
The British Council has recently produced an online phonemic chart where
you can actually hear the sounds by clicking on the phonemic symbols.

n Different Pond Different Fish.Id love to thank for the chance of correspondence in
magazines youve regularly sent to me. I do realize its
eally helpful when last October I had my first international
ourney to the most amazing country, Australia. I feel so
ucky to already know about things I read from DPDF.
almost had no such cultural shock . Thanks KGI
f you would like to read his email and find out more about

age on the KGI website.
An active MGMP
Remember the story about Pak Khairul from
Pasuruan and their very active MGMP? (See
KGIs September 2010 bulletin). Here are a
few ideas for you to increase and sustain the
membership of your MGMP -
* Hold regular meetings/workshops.
* Have a committee which is elected every
six months/one year and encourage all
members to accept a role in the committee.
* If possible make your schedule well in advance
- perhaps make a bookmark with the dates
and nature of the activities on it. Teachers
can refer to it regularly and be prepared.* Have a card made with each date printed on
it. As the members attend each event they
put a sticker/stamp on their card. At the end
of the year members who have collected all
the stickers/stamps can be entered into a
grand draw for a prize.
For more ideas go to this link on the KGI website- www.kangguru.org/kgreintheclassroom.htm
