Abstract
This social activity program is geared to the Indonesian labour who will work in Mandarin Chinese speaking regions, organized by the Chinese department of UK Petra, benefit to both the major study students and the local labour. Indonesia is one of the conventional labour-export country in Southeast Asia. Huge amount of labour working in the Chinese speaking regions such as Taiwan, Hong Kong etc. Language communication had been the biggest problem for these people. The solution previously was hiring the returned one as the trainer, but they are lack in general grammar and incorrect in most of the pronunciation, which make the study quality poor. The learner who accomplish the training can not explain clearly and can not understand the employers instructions, the problem still occupy. With this program, we can use the social resource effectively. The major study students got a chance to practice their professional skill to make the learner have a systematic and standard basic train, to reach a win-win aspect. We divided 10 students into three groups, each group is responsible for teaching different topics in 9 teaching sessions. The topics is: Introduction, food, shopping, learning, health, entertainment, family, work and farewell. By interacting directly with the prospective workers who will work in China, Taiwan or Hong Kong, it is expected the students also understand the difficulties that come by the prospective migrant workers in real life, so that students are able to develop a sense of empathy and concern for others.
