This course is designed to sharpen students’ conceptual framework in their chosen areas and equip them with the right orientation towards good research practice for their master’s degree. Therefore, they will undergo a set of activities involving lectures, presentations, independent reading, and writing sessions, peer reviews, and discussion. Knowledge in the subject matters, methodological alternatives, academic writing skills, and ethical considerations is imperative if students aspire to become sound researchers in English Language Education in the future.
English Instructional Technology aims to develop student teachers’ understanding and skills of how to design an English instruction by considering the current EFL curriculum and the surrounding socio-educational context. This course is, therefore, both theoretical and practical. The theoretical and conceptual components comprise essential theories and concepts that influence teachers’ pedagogical reasoning in shaping the direction of their instructional design and practice. Such theories and concepts as understanding learners’ characteristics and entry level of learning, the roles of EFL socio-educational context in EFL instruction, agency in language learning, language learning interaction, and the like are in need to be explored and comprehended. The practical components include macro and micro skills in designing instruction such as analyzing the target instructional context, collecting information on the target students’ characteristics, designing or planning an EFL lesson in reference to the existing EFL curriculum, developing materials and assessment, and creating teaching media.Â

The Upper Intermediate Oral Communicative Skills course is designed to develop students’ ability to comprehend, produce, and interact effectively in spoken English at the CEFR B2 level. The course focuses on strengthening students’ communicative competence through a range of authentic and academic as well as professional speaking contexts. Students are guided to interpret spoken discourse critically, express ideas clearly and coherently, and engage confidently in meaningful interactions. The course content emphasizes practical oral communication skills through activities such as job interviews, structured discussions, negotiations, presentations, and collaborative problem-solving tasks. Students are also exposed to professional communication contexts and simulated workplace scenarios that enable them to apply appropriate language, discourse strategies, and interactional skills. A blended learning approach is adopted to support students’ learning both inside and outside the classroom. Students engage with preparatory materials through the Learning Management System (LMS) and online learning modules, while classroom sessions prioritize active oral communication practice, peer collaboration, task-based interaction, and instructor-guided feedback. Reflective activities are incorporated throughout the course to encourage students to evaluate their communicative performance and identify areas for further development. Assessment is conducted through both formative and summative forms, incorporating a combination of individual and collaborative tasks.

practice of teaching and learning English. The expected outcome of this course is for the students to design and develop English language learning materials and media by integrating the basic principles in ICT, the national curriculum, and current approaches in ELT. Classroom activities consist of lecture, discussion, and project consultation. Outside the class, students are expected to complete quizzes, assignments, and the assigned projects. Academic achievements are evaluated through quiz completion, participation in discussion, and project completion.
This course aims to provide prospective teachers with insight, understanding, awareness, and skills regarding the English used in the classroom learning process, as well as the importance of classroom language varieties in language learning.

Welcome to the Upper Intermediate Oral Communication Skills with Ms. Suciati as the lecturer.
This course is designed to enhance students’ academic literacy competence through intensive reading and writing activities at the B2 level, in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Through structured reading activities, students will develop the ability to comprehend the main ideas of various complex texts, both concrete and abstract, including texts containing technical discussions within the field of English studies. Building upon the comprehension process, students will be guided to produce well-structured, clear, and in-depth written texts on a wide range of topics. They will be encouraged to express critical perspectives on current issues by constructing logical arguments and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of textual content from multiple viewpoints. The course emphasizes the integration of critical reading skills and academic writing proficiency as an essential foundation for upper-intermediate level written communication. Teaching and learning activities include lectures, discussions, and both in-class and independent assignments. Assessment will be based on attendance, active participation, individual and group projects, quizzes, mid-term examinations, and a final examination.
