Tuesday,
25 of January 2022, BSI students who take part in the internship program
make a presentation on the implementation of the internship program to their
academic supervisor. Students report various activities carried out during
their internship in several government and private agencies. Presentations were
made online via the zoom app, this was due to the unfavorable situation of the
pandemic. Before making a presentation, all students are required to submit an
internship report which must be made by the internship report writing
guidebook, after the report is validated, a presentation schedule is made. This
activity is the final stage that must be followed by all internship students,
apart from being an assessment process, this activity is an overall evaluation
and student reflection on the internship process that has been followed. The
results of the evaluation will be considered for the implementation of the next
internship
In general, the activities carried out by internship students vary widely but are still by their competence as students majoring in English and literature. Students who are interns at the airport are placed in the customer service section, as well as those placed at immigration, who are placed in other government agencies, such as the tourism office and language halls. They also do many things that are relevant to their competence, such as translation, writing international news. Students also reflected a lot on the various obstacles they faced during their internships and how they tried to deal with them. The chairman of the department hopes that this internship program will give a lot of experience on how to adapt to the world of work, how to communicate with other people and how to build professionalism and competence in the field of English.
