Kang GURU English Language
Radio in Indonesia
Last updated December 15th, 2011
The KGI radio program is a great way to study English and a great and easy way to learn about Indonesia Australia
relations including people to people contacts and events. KGI's English language radio program is just 20 minutes
long with music, interviews and lots of news and information about the ties and links between Australia and
Indonesia especially in education and culture. The program consists of three information segments.
The program is basically in Pre-Intermediate level English for English language students in Indonesia. Segments
include Idioms Inggris, Quick Fix, interviews,
music, scholarship news, the Australia Indonesia Partnership with
AusAID, and plenty of easy English language competitions.
Kang GURU English language radio is heard
on over 180 RRI and selected private and public radio stations all over Indonesia each week. Some of the KGI broadcast
radio stations are community and school-based stations and they broadcast Kang GURU English
radio programs using AM, FM and SW channels right across the Indonesian archipelago every week. That is a total
of over 230 broadcasts each week — that's almost 30 KGI broadcasts every day somewhere in Indonesia
talking about Australia and Indonesia, education and friendship.

Mengikuti Siaran KangGURU di Radio Volare 103,5 FM Pontianak Berlatih Bahasa Inggris, Himbau Aktif Di Klub Catatan Asep Haryono
Saya diundang oleh Ibu Program Director Radio Volare 103,5 FM Pontianak untuk hadir di studio guna menyaksikan secara on air siaran KangGURU di Radio Volare in action kemarin pagi (Minggu, 3 April 2011). Setelah memutar program KangGURU, acara dilanjutkan dengan bincang bincang ringan bertemakan klub Bahasa Inggris di sekolah. Acara yang dikemas lebih lama menjadi (satu) jam ini dipandu oleh Dini Haiti Zulfani dan Rienda sebagai Interactive English Presenter yang menghadirkan 2 (dua) orang siswi Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Pontianak, Yunita dan Lia.
"Menurut saya sih dengan aktifnya pelajar di klub Bahasa Inggris, maka kita akan memiliki banyak kesempatan untuk bisa berlatih dan berteman dengan teman teman lain dalam klub bahasa Inggris tersebut. Selain itu juga saya sendiri senang bisa punya banyak teman di klub Bahasa Inggris yang ada di sekolah, dan kepala sekolah juga sangat mendukung kegiatan kami" kata Yunita. Hal senada juga disampaikan Lia yang juga merasakan banyak manfaatnya dengan menjadi anggota klub bahasa Inggris di Klub sekolahnya. "Asyik sekali, karena saya bisa belajar sama teman yang lebih mahir dalam berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris, jadi minder saya hilang deh" katanya menambahkan.
Menurut Bu Temi, Program Director Radio Volare FM Pontianak, acara siaran KangGURU di radionya tidak hanya memutarkan kaset KangGURU yang memang sudah dipersiapkan sebelumnya, namun akan dikemas secara interaktif dengan menghadirkan nara sumber atau guest yang berbeda setiap minggunya. "Kita sih rencananya akan mengadakan promosi kegiatan siaran KangGURU di Radio ini ke sekolah sekolah SMA di Kota Pontianak, dan menghadirkan guru kelas atau murid sekolah yang bersangkutan secara bergiliran dan bergantian setiap minggunya".
Bu Temi juga merencanakan mengadakan workshop guru guru Bahasa Inggris dan juga agenda lainnya dalam rangka lebih menguatkan dan mempererat komunitas pendengar siaran KangGURU di radio miliknya itu.

Here's a terrific email sent to KGI -
Dear KGI,
I have read your latest magazine and really i got many knowledges and new insights as to life
down under in Australia, so Although i didn't ever go there yet, at least I've known a part story of Australia
and its citizen. Indeed, after reading your magazine, my desire to go to Australia is adding up more and more.
And also I have read in Kangguru connection page told about final get together for KGCC network, in the last
passage, I was really interested to gain a complete series of KGI Radio programs. The first reason I'd like to
gain those is because my position as one of English teachers of an English club in my Islamic boarding school,
my idea in my mind is i can share, discuss, and listen together concerning how English spoken by English and
I'm sure it can help us in increasing our English skill especially in Listening section as well. Besides, Id
like to offer those complete series of KGI radio program toward communication faculty in our institution. For
they also broadcasted every positive things such as news, religious speech, entertaining songs and many others.
I think it's a good and exact time to make good cooperation and connection with KGI Radio broadcasting, unfortunately
we still didn't know well how the ways become KGI Radio Broadcasting's member, so we do need your hand and guidance.
For thus, i do hope you would like to send us a complete series of KGI radio programs, we were here sure, it
have man benefits and really can help us developing our English skill.
Your
sincerely,
Much.

A Great Story re. Kang Guru
'I was recently on a 7 night diving trip around Komodo Island –
the whole time on a small boat. Each night the crew tuned in their HF radio to the Kang Guru broadcast. The guys
on the boat (MV Nusatara, Captain Suliman , Dive master Peter and others) loved the program and it was a great
way for all of us learn a bit about each other — for me to work on my Bahasa Indonesia and for them
to practise their English. They remarked – all of them — how important the program had been
in improving their English'.
Tim Vistarini — AusAID Jakarta |
