U.S. Embassy Launches New Radio Drama Designed to Teach English

Bahasa Indonesia

Jakarta, June 17 – On Thursday, June 18, the U.S. Embassy in cooperation with the KBR68H radio network is debuting a new radio drama program titled “My Love, My English, My Success!”  The weekly 20-minute program will be broadcast in Jakarta every Thursday from 8:40-9pm on 89.2 Green Radio as part of the “Guru Kita” radio show, starting from this week. 

“My Love, My English, My Success!” is the story of a young man named Samudra who moves to Jakarta and quickly realizes that if he wants to get ahead in life, then learning English is the key to succeed quickly.  During the program, the characters speak a mixture of English and Indonesian, and use basic, everyday vocabulary that is applicable to many different practical situations such as asking directions, travelling and having a telephone conversation. After each “drama” segment, listeners to the program will be encouraged to call in for an interactive quiz about the show during which they can win prizes, including an English course from Lembaga Indonesia Amerika (LIA). 

“My Love, My English, My Success!” was designed in conjunction with LIA and is intended to be an accessible way to learn basic English phrases and vocabulary or as a practical supplement to an English course. 

Given the tremendous demand for high-quality English language instruction, the U.S. Embassy is proud to sponsor free-to-air broadcast programs like “My Love, My English, My Success” that are designed to improve English language education for Indonesian students and adult learners. The U.S. Government currently sponsors Fulbright English Teaching Assistants and Fellows who teach English at high schools and universities throughout Indonesia.
