Abstract
This paper discusses the good practices in the teaching and learning of survival Indonesian for overseas students who have immediate needs to express themselves in some limited topics of their fields of interest in Indonesian. The good practices as discussed in this paper are based on the underlying concepts of task-based integrated communicative competence teaching. The relevant good practices, in addition to being soundly based on scientific accountability, are planned and carried out in a series of instructional activities to meet the pressing needs of overseas students/speakers of other languages to be able to communicate in Indonesian in limited situations within a relatively short time. In the teaching of survival Indonesian for overseas students that is grounded on the integrated communication using task-based approach, an instructor of the teaching Indonesian to speakers of other languages (TISOL) must be able to understand well of the role and the relatedness of each pedagogical task so as to enable the students’ mastery of the integrated language skills. Ideally, the relatedness between the instructional activities in the classroom (pedagogical task) and the language use in the immediate real world of the overseas students (target task) creates relevant and meaningful language teaching material being learned and at the same time serves to become a solid foundation for further improvement of the language skills.
