The vision and mission of the English Education Study Program are

VISION

The scholarly vision of the English Education Study Program at FKIP UNS is to “Advance English language education through multidisciplinary research that integrates educational theory, linguistics, and technology to enhance the quality of English language learning in the global era.”

OBJECTIVE

1. To produce prospective English educators for primary, secondary, or equivalent levels who are creative, innovative, and professional, possessing in-depth knowledge of English language content and learning approaches, methods, and strategies based on current educational theories and research. Graduates will be equipped with the skills to design and implement learning models that are adaptive to the needs of students and curriculum developments, both nationally and internationally. They will also have the ability to utilise information and communication technology in learning, including digital media, e-learning, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, graduates are expected to possess strong communication skills, high moral character, intelligence, and proficiency in managing student-centred learning.
2. To cultivate entrepreneurs in the field of English language education who have the competence to create, develop, and market innovative products or services that are relevant to the needs of English language education, both independently and in teams. Graduates are expected to be able to design adaptive and contextual curricula, produce research-based teaching materials that meet market needs, and create innovative educational media utilising digital technology. In addition, they will be equipped with the management, marketing, and communication skills necessary to build sustainable businesses and contribute to the development of English language education at the local, national, and international levels.

Strategies for Achieving the English Education Study Program Objectives

Broadly, the strategies for achieving the scholarly vision and objectives of the English Education Study Program can be outlined through the following stages:

1. Equipping students with competencies relevant to the graduate profile in the form of integrated graduate learning outcomes encompassing aspects of attitude, knowledge, and skills. These GLOs are articulated in the 2023 Curriculum of the English Education Study Program and elaborated in the semester learning plans.
2. Implementing learning or lectures that can realise the formulated GLOs contained in the curriculum, whether in the form of guided learning (face-to-face in the classroom), structured assignments, or independent learning.
3. Conducting learning assessments (especially summative assessments or assessment of learning) that can measure the achievement of GLOs after they have been realised through learning or lectures.
4. Encouraging and involving students in various activities that can develop their academic and personal competencies, such as research mentoring after theory courses, mentoring and training in writing research articles, participation in guest lectures/expert talks, presentations at international conferences/seminars, and publications in reputable national or international journals. In some activities, students are also actively involved as event organisers.
5. Enhancing the quality of lecturers through continuous professional development activities, such as pursuing doctoral studies, reading relevant and up-to-date references, participating in various scientific activities (such as conferences, seminars, and focus group discussions), and conducting research relevant to their expertise, involving students.
6. Providing educational facilities and infrastructure that enable learning or lectures to run well, such as comfortable lecture and discussion rooms, strong wifi/internet bandwidth, and e-journals.
