Abstract

The existence of multi varieties of English in today’s international communication requires the inclusion of what is called World Englishes (WE) in English teaching. While many have attempted to incorporate WE in English classrooms, such clear procedures on how to implement this along with the outcomes are so far hard to find. Therefore, this review elaborates on the implementation of WE, examines the challenges, and highlights the benefits of this incorporation. 18 research articles from the year 2010 to 2019 on the incorporation of WE worldwide starting from school to university context were reviewed. The review reveals that the teaching of WE is mostly still in the introduction phase since a majority of English teachers and learners still prefer the native English varieties. On the other hand, the introduction of WE to English learners may improve their confidence to use English. This review is expected to be able to provide clear current conditions of WE teaching, impose challenges that need to be addressed, and at the same time encourage the incorporation of WE in an English classroom.DOI: 10/26905/enjourme.v7i1/7827

Abstract

The recent study investigates tertiary students' perspectives on the implementation of the TOEFL benchmark score as a graduation requirement. There were 100 students chosen randomly in this study. Their perspectives were gathered through a questionnaire and an interview to know the students’ strategies and difficulties in answering the TOEFL test. The results showed that most students agree with the TOEFL benchmark as a graduation requirement however they face obstacles in answering the test. From the interview, the result showed that they had difficulties in answering the listening and grammar sections. This resulted in unfamiliarity with foreign sounds and a lack of practice. Besides, students felt that the minimum TOEFL score for the graduation requirement was beyond their ability since most students were not introduced to TOEFL from the beginning of their study. Most students used their strategies in learning TOEFL through searching some materials on the internet as well as from the module they got from English courses. Such strategies help them to increase their ability to improve their TOEFL score.

Abstract

One of the problems in continuing tertiary education experienced by students is doubt and indecision in determining majors. Choosing the right major will determine the direction of your future career. So, to answer this problem it is necessary to carry out community service activities by introducing study programs and graduate career prospects. The purpose of implementing community service activities is to introduce the Public Administration study program and the profile achievements of graduates so that they become a reference for students in determining career directions according to their interests and aspirations. This service activity is carried out using the lecture method. The author conducted a pre-test and post-Test as a step to find out the extent of students' understanding of the Public Administration study program. As for the results of the community service activities during the pre-test, few participants knew about the existence of the Public Administration study program, but after the post-test was carried out, the students understood and knew about the studies and achievements of graduates of the Public Administration study program so that later it would become one of the list of major choices for students to build a future career.

Abstract

Kebijakan Merdeka Belajar - Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) merupakan manifestasi konsep baru di dunia perguruan tinggi yang memberikan keleluasaan kepada mahasiswa untuk belajar selama tiga semester di luar program studinya. Tren belajar seperti ini dianggap lebih fleksibel, otonom, dan relevan di zaman sekarang. Ini dianut dengan maksud membantu mahasiswa agar lebih mantap dalam ancang-ancang memasuki dunia kerja. Namun begitu, kebijakan yang tergolong baru ini memunculkan banyak polemik dalam benak mahasiswa, terutama bersinggungan dengan prasyarat, prosedur, dan benefit mengikutinya. Adapun magang atau praktik kerja merupakan salah satu item dari kebijakan MBKM tersebut yang menjadi bahasan khusus dalam artikel ini. Berakar dari masalah yang telah diuraikan, maka penulis memandang krusial untuk mengadakan pengabdian ini. Tujuan pelaksanaannya adalah membantu mahasiswa khususnya Prodi Ilmu Komunikasi, Univesitas Teuku Umar untuk lebih paham secara totalitas menyangkut berbagai ihwal yang masih mengganjal. Diseminasi dan dialog interaktif menjadi metode utama dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian ini, sehingga diperoleh hasil sebagai berikut: (1). Minat dan keingintahuan mahasiswa terhadap magang tinggi; dan (2). Banyak mahasiswa masih minim pengetahuan tentang prasyarat, prosedur, dan benefit magang, sehingga banyak dari mereka sangsi antara lebih baik memilih magang atau tidak. Merespons temuan ini, maka para pembicara menjelaskan secara detail tentang apa yang dianggap penting dan apa yang ingin diketahui oleh peserta diseminasi dengan mengacu pada buku panduan. Selanjutnya, alternatif tambahan untuk mewanti-wanti jika masih ada hal urgen yang belum tuntas tersampaikan, maka pembicara mengarahkan mahasiswa untuk mencari jawabannya melalui buku panduan yang telah disusun dan diunggah di web Prodi yang dapat diakses siapa saja, kapan saja, dan dimana saja.
