In
this increasingly dynamic era of globalization, English language skills are
like the foundation of a building, the most essential thing to be able to
participate in the international arena. Therefore, a TOEFL training for
students is a very important program for them as a medium for them to improve
their career brilliance in the future.
Campus
TOEFL training is a golden ticket for students to a vaster and more colorful
world, and UIN Alauddin Makassar's Language Development Center has provided
that to its students. They provide free training for their students with the
hope that they will become shining individuals in the future. Not only
providing training for students majoring in English, they also facilitate other
majors, such as Animal Husbandry, Informatics Engineering, Economics and
Islamic Business, and other majors.
Andi
Muhammad Andika Putra, a student of Department of English Language and Literature,
who got the opportunity stated, "The participants are specifically for UIN
students, because for now almost all faculties require a TOEFL test with a
minimum score of 500", showing the seriousness of the campus to provide
the best for its students. They are trying to provide a bright path for their
students by trying to include all students in this program gradually, from some
to all.
Andika
also explained that this might not be easy for all students because of their
different backgrounds. "For now, each class is a combination of several
majors. And for the learning method for non-English majors, maybe they have a
bit of difficulty understanding it for the way of teaching. For us, it may be
basic material, but for non-English majors, it might be intermediate,
advanced," But
isn't it the hard way that leads to the best results?
Their
seriousness about this program is not something new. They have carried out this
program until they reached the ninth batch to date. They have shown ambition
with consistency, not just in their imagination but to bring their goals to
reality. Not for their own sake, but for the sake of building a generation that
sparkles like a jewel.
The
TOEFL training provided by UIN Alaudin Makassar to its students is a provision
that not only provides knowledge, but at the same time becomes a way for them
to break through boundaries and fly to a vaster and higher world. It is not a
path that merely drains the energy and mind, that burdens the body and soul,
but also gives extraordinary results, like a flower that grows on hard and dark
soil, showing that patience and perseverance can produce unexpected miracles.
