Closing Ceremony for English Course Batch 2 and 3 for Law Faculty Supporting Staff

English Courses for Batch 2 and 3 just finished last week on Friday, 1 March 2019. There were around 50 participants that took part in the courses. The courses started in early January 2019. “Participants were enthusiastic and they did a great job. I am really proud of their progress. Now, our law school has supporting staffs with their English capability to support their daily job.” said Christopher Cason, the course tutor.

At the closing ceremony, the Vice Dean for Resource Management (Hanafi Amrani, SH, MH, LLM, PhD) said in his speech “as the representative of the leadership, we would like to congratulate for all the participants. Please remember two things: do not forget and do not hesitate. Do not forget the things that you learned from the course. Do not hesitate to practice English in our daily activities. We do hope that this English course will provide more benefit for all participants as well as for the law school.”

As part of the internationalization of the law school, the basic understanding of English is important for supporting staffs because they are the key to our academic services. The law school itself had already visited by the AUN-QA assessors to get certified at the regional level.

English for Academic Staf (Batch 1) just Finished

Congratulations to the first batch of our staff-students, learning English to prepare for the AUN QA accreditation, on successful completion of their English Course. The course took place over two months and 21 hours of instruction in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. All of the participants demonstrated enthusiasm for the program.  Due to this enthusiasm, the first phase of this program was a resounding success. The teacher of the English Course is our native lecturer, Christopher C. Cason.

The participants, regardless of their previous English language training or skill level, acted fearlessly to increase their abilities.  They faced a wide range of activities, including written exercises in technical grammar, role plays to increase their fluency, and presentations to their peers; demonstrating a great deal of confidence.  This confidence was constantly tested and on display as the participants stepped up and tacked each task.  Even more impressive, they demonstrated consistent progress despite getting almost no instruction in the Indonesian language.  It was a true English immersion course with a native English speaker and the students embraced the challenge.  Their confidence and commitment will pay off as essential contributions to the upcoming accreditation of the UII Faculty of Law.
