摘要

Since the resurgence and rising popularity of Chinese language education in Indonesia after 1998, an increasing number of Indonesian schools have established teaching programmes in Chinese language. Apart from state-run and private schools, trilingual schools also offer Chinese language courses with more teaching hours and better quality of teaching than other schools. Much is expected from these trilingual schools to play an important role in Chinese language teaching in Indonesia. This study examines the present state of Chinese language teaching in trilingual schools and to delve into the problems confronting them and the prospects for further development. By focusing attention on the trilingual schools of Bandung and with data on these schools and interviews with senior personnel, this study will attempt to assess the problems of these schools and to identify appropriate strategies that would contribute to the future development of Chinese language teaching in Indonesia in general and Bandung in particular.
