Kang GURU began
in 1989. The Indonesian Government asked the Australian Government, through AusAID,
for assistance in setting up an English language radio program network in Indonesia. Particular importance was
placed on Eastern Indonesia. It was hoped that the radio program would promote and encourage people in that part
of the country to apply for what are now called Australian Development Scholarships (ADS). KGI (based in at IALF in Bali) has now become a part of Australia's Education Partnership with Indonesia between Australia and Indonesia working through EPOS - Education Partnership Outreach Services (EPOS) in Jakarta.

Kevin Dalton
Kevin did not start out working as an ESL teacher but began his teaching career as a primary school teacher in
Melbourne. After doing that for many years he decided to try something a little bit different, so ESL teaching
seemed a logical idea, especially if it was in an overseas country. There was an opportunity for him to work
in Lombok in a voluntary capacity in 1990 so he accepted the position and worked through Australian Volunteers
International in Lombok for two and a half years. In 1993 Kevin returned to La Trobe University in Melbourne
to upgrade his English language teaching qualifications. In 1994 he started work in Surabaya. Ten months later
he began working at IALF Bali and has remained there ever since. He taught on the General English program as
well as on EAP courses, did some hotel work and was involved with Marketing and Promotion of the IALF. IALF
sent Kevin to work in places as far apart as Kupang, southern Sumatra, Surabaya, Dili, Ambon and even in Cambodia
and Laos on 3 month Teacher Exchanges in 1997 and 1999 respectively. Kevin completed a Diploma TESAL course
in 1997/98 conducted at IALF, Bali.
In January 2000, Kevin became Manager of Kang GURU Radio
English and remained in that position until September, 2012. Between October 2012 and March 2013 Kevin acted as Transition Advisor with IALF for the Education Partnership
Outreach Services.
