JAKARTA: In an effort to internationalise Indonesia’s education system, it is quite relevant to pose questions like the following: What contributions do scholars in the field of literacy and teaching practitioners give to foster literacy development among young generations? What intellectual legacy have senior scholars passed on to their juniors in attaining an international recognition?
Thanks to the scholars’ strong commitment to boosting literacy in Indonesia, a relatively large number of research on literacy (for example, writing) has been undertaken, generating important insight into how writing pedagogy in the country can be improved.
