Introduction USAID/Indonesia continued the PRESTASI-II program, which provided opportunities for academic degrees and technical training to Indonesian professionals, with the award of PRESTASI-3 to IIE. Through the development of the expertise of targeted staff members in key sectors, PRESTASI-3 continues the objective to help organizations and institutions acquire the knowledge, skills, and capacity to support Indonesia’s on-going development and the achievement of the Mission’s development objectives. This program is funded by USAID/Indonesia’s five Development Objective Teams (DOTs) Economic Growth, Education, Environment, Democratic Governance, and Health. The objective is to support the implementation of the Mission’s programmatic strategy to improve, strengthen, and increase Indonesian health systems, management of natural resources, access to and quality of education, democratic governance, and employment opportunities. PRESTASI-3 implements and manages programs in Indonesia and in the United States. PRESTASI works closely with the Education Office in particular and all Mission Technical Teams in general (Economic Growth, Environment, Democratic Governance, and Health) to do the following: 1. With the DOTs, identify the sectors within their Indonesian partner organizations, and other recommended public and private organizations, where expertise is required for activities and programs to achieve GOI and USAID objectives. 2. Identify key personnel who display both technical aptitude and leadership qualities as participants in long-term and short-term training. 3. Select scholar candidates to pursue graduate degrees in the United States, and participants for short-term technical training in the United States, Indonesia, and in other countries. II. Project Background The goal of the USAID PRESTASI-3 Scholarship Program is to improve the performance and leadership skills of Indonesian professionals, which, in turn, will help to promote development in Indonesia and the achievement of the Mission’s Development Objectives under the 2009-2014 Mission Strategic Plan. Specifically, PRESTASI-3 provides training and technical services required to strengthen and expand the base of skilled, high-performing professionals and institutions in Indonesia’s public and private sectors. The major expected outcomes from the implementation of PRESTASI-3 are to: 1. Create an expanded cadre of skilled leaders and managers who can disseminate new knowledge and skills within priority sectors and therefore advance key development objectives; 2. Develop new and advanced management skills, technical capacity, and knowledge within targeted public/private institutions and GOI ministries which will encourage more efficient, transparent, and accountable practices across the assisted sectors, thereby encouraging greater economic growth; 3. Produce leaders who will 1) apply newly acquired skills at their places of work, and 2) share new skills, knowledge and perceptions with colleagues and the broader community, thereby maximizing the impact of training; 4. Increase coordination among GOI institutions, local institutions, USG Agencies and other donor organizations; 5. Encourage the development of more efficient, transparent, and accountable practices in managing resources, leading to better service delivery; 6. Increase the level of good will and cultural understanding between Indonesia and the United States, through study and training in the United States, 7. Increase the number of future Indonesian leaders holding advanced degrees (Masters) from U.S. universities, and 8. Increase the number of women and individuals from disadvantaged and/or under-represented geographic areas (particularly outside of Java and Bali) participating in the program. 4 III. Project Field Office Administration October-December 2016 Office schedule: The PRESTASI-3 field office was closed on two days on the occasion of Indonesian national holidays: December 12 for Mouled Al Nebi, and December 26 for Christmas (Observed). IIE Home Office Jonah Kokodyniak, IIE Senior Vice President for Strategic Development, visited the USAID Visit to Jakarta projects managed by IIE in Jakarta. The purpose of his visit was to provide Home-Office support Dec 14-16, 2016 to the field-office teams, to touch-base with USAID project supervisors, and to meet with education institutions with whom future cooperation might be possible. During his visit he conferred with the IIEF Board of Directors, the Director of LPDP, the chiefs of party of PRESTASI-II, PRESTASI-3, and SHERA, the Director of the USAID Education Office, officials at the Ministry of Higher Education & Research, the Head of the Center of Learning at BAPPENAS, and the USAID Project Assessment Team managed by Management Systems International. USAID USAID approved international travel for two PRESTASI-3 field staff, DCOP/IIE Yos Sudarso Regional Training in Usman Putra and International Training Specialist/IIEF Krystina Mitayani, to participate in the Bangkok, Thailand USAID three-day training on ADS 252, ADS 253 and TraiNet system. Nov 29-Dec 01, 2016 The PRESTASI-3 trainees were joined by USAID and contractor staff from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and others from Indonesia. The training was conducted by Ethel Brooks from USAID/Washington, and Travis Walden of Rivera, Inc. USAID In-country After the Bangkok training, Ethel Brooks and Travis Walden continued to Jakarta where Training for they met with individual contractors implementing the Mission’s programs. The PRESTASI-3 PRESTASI-3 on COP, along with the PRESTASI 3 COR and ACOR, briefed Ethel Brooks on the status of Dec 05, 2016 PRESTASI-3’s progress at the mid-point of the project’s timeline, and described some of the challenges that IIE and IIEF have met in recruiting applicants under two systems (open and closed recruitment), in seeking co-funding for PRESTASI scholarships, and in dealing with requests for dependents to travel to the U.S. to join PRESTASI-3 scholars for temporary visits.

Berez-Kroeker & Gary Holton, pp. 256–266 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 25 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24827 Reflections on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in eastern Indonesia Yusuf Sawaki Center for Endangered Languages Documentation, University of Papua I Wayan Arka Australia National University Udayana University In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation activities in Eastern Indonesia. We first present the rich linguistic and biological diversity of this region, which is of significant interest in typological and theoretical linguistics and language documentation. We then discuss certain central educational issues in relation to human resources, infrastructures, and institutional support, critical for high quality research and documentation. We argue that the issues are multidimensional and complex across all levels, posing sociocultural challenges in capacity-building programs. Finally, we reflect on the significance of the participation oflocal fieldworkers and communities and their contextual training. 1. Introduction In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in Eastern Indonesia. By “Eastern Indonesia,” we mean the region that stretches from Nusa Tenggara to Papua,1 including Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sulawesi, and Maluku. This region is linguistically one of the most diverse regions in the world interms of the number of unrelated languages and their structural properties, further discussed in the next section. This is the region where Nikolaus Himmelmann has done his linguistic 1The term “Papua” is potentially confusing because it is used in two senses.

Starting from the idea that the extinction of a language causes the loss of various forms of cultural heritage, especially the customary heritage and oral expressions of the speaking community. There are two main problems in this study, namely: (1) Identification of the regional language of indigenous Papuans in West Papua Province, and (2) Classification of regional languages of indigenous Papuans in West Papua Province. This study uses two approaches, namely (1) a theoretical approach and (2) a methodological approach. The theoretical approach is an exploration of the theory of language documentation, while the methodological approach is a descriptive approach with an explanative dimension. This study follows the procedures of (1) the data provision stage, (2) the data analysis stage, and (3) the data analysis presentation stage. The findings in this study illustrate that the languages in West Papua Province can be grouped into four language groups, namely (1) Austronesian phylum groups; (2) West Papua phylum group; (3) Papuan Bird Head phylum group; and (4) the Trans West Papua Phylum Group.

Slamet1 and Sumarwati Sumarwati1 1Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia 2IKIP PGRI Pontianak, Pontianak, Indonesia [email protected] Keywords: Linguistic competence, Bahasa Indonesia, participatory model, fast track, action research. Abstract: The problem found in higher education especially in learning Bahasa is that the undergraduates cannot meet the expected language learning outcome. This research aims to improve Bahasa competence through fast track-based participatory model in Tanjungpura University, Indonesia. The subjects of the research are the lecturer of Bahasa Education Department and the undergraduates of Chemistry Education Department, teacher training and education faculty, Tanjungpura University in the academic year of 2017/2018. This three- cycle classroom action involves some steps as planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The instruments of the research are Bahasa competence test, field note, and observation guideline. The data are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The research findings show that after joining the lectures: (1) there is improvement on undergraduates’ linguistic competence; almost 90% undergraduates get score >70 and (2) more than 70% undergraduates pass the test. The undergraduates’ Bahasa competence is improved since there are more of them that participate through various tracks in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Implementation of participatory model based on fast track gives positive impact with the improvement of Indonesian language competence of students in the learning of general basic subjects of Indonesian language. 1 INTRODUCTION al., 2013). Fast track done early can improve the expected learning outcome and lessen the gap. It Bahasa competence is a type of competence that focuses on individual learning that is suitable with the covers listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill learning purpose (Turrent, 2009).

Nolte, Executive Director, Institute of Ourrent Jorld ffairs, 535 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York United States of America Dear Mr. Nolte, The Tjenderawasih State University in West Irian was established by a special presidential degree (of President Sukarno) on November 10, 1962, only six weeks after the United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (U.N.T.E.A.) had taken over the responsibility for administering the area from the Dutch, and nearly six months before West Irian passed completely under the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia. The aim of this "Newsletter" is to discuss (a) the reasons for (and the speed with) which the university was established; (b) its history since its foundation; and (c) its present condition and problems. In the process, I hope to provide some insight into the aspirations and problems of Indonesia's administration of West Irian. The University .and the Revolution The Tjenderawasih University's establishment was intimately connected with the Indonesian government's commitment to the fulfilment of the Revolution of 1945. It was, firstly, an important symbol of Indonesia' s attainment of its geographical identity, 'v from Sabang to Merauke", and, secondly, of the special correlation between education and revolution to be found in the history of Indonesian nationalism itself. In a sense, the second point illuminates the first (that is, why a university should be such an important symbol of the Revolution, and hence why the Tjenderawasih University was so promtly set u.
