Which brings me to this project: Flat Stanley. This year we want to continue with that, but take it a step further by learning more about individual people’s lives and not be limited to just the United States. It was also a great way for me to teach my students all about America and its diversity. It was such a fun project to connect people and cultures. Last year, we spent the entire school year collecting postcards from all 50 states in America. After hours they can be found doing their assigned jobs (such as cleaning, building, cooking, etc.), watching movies, browsing social media or playing their new favorite sport: Frisbee. The kids go to school 6 days a week and usually study from 7am until 5pm. My name is Emily and I am a Peace Corps volunteer working at Alfauzan as an English teacher where I teach grades 7-12. Indonesia is a very interesting and exotic country with so much to offer I encourage you seek more information online. However, most people learn a local dialect as their first language for example, here in Lumajang, many people speak Javanese.
The national language here is Bahasa Indonesia which has some English and Dutch influence.
When they united all the islands together, this meant uniting thousands of cultures, languages, and histories as well. Indonesia became its own country in 1945. The islands expand over an area about the size of the continental US. It is an archipelago of over 17,000 islands. Indonesia is part of Southeast Asia and just north of Australia. We’re the English Club of Pester Alfauzan located in the city of Lumajang which is in East Java, Indonesia.
