E-DEV (ENGLISH DEVELOPMENT) 2019
In this global era, apart from technology, we are increasingly inseparable from English. English has become a universal language throughout the world that allows people from different countries, languages, and cultures to communicate. Now we can almost find English every day, whether it is used in social media, lectures in class, even from daily conversation. English also plays a crucial role in the world of business and work, and is one of the main requirements if you want to get a scholarship, especially abroad.
To get official recognition for their English proficiency, anyone can take official English language exams such as TOEIC, TOEFL, and IELTS. Generally, currently widely used are TOEFL and IELTS. The certificates of these two tests can be used to apply for scholarships or jobs in various institutions, especially multi-national institutions that are in great demand. In fact, having a TOEFL or IELTS certificate with good grades seems to be an obligation at this time.
Therefore, BEM FEB UNAIR presents E-Dev, or English Development, which is a forum for students at the Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Airlangga to develop English, especially in preparing for the TOEFL. Together with the TEXAS English Course and Training Center, E-Dev was successfully held on 26 and 27 April 2019.
On the first day of E-Dev on April 26, 2019 which was held at the Fadjar FEB UNAIR Hall, students received TOEFL training by a trusted and experienced trainer from the TEXAS English Course and Training Center. There, participants were given direction, teaching, as well as tips and tricks for working on TOEFL questions ranging from listening, grammar and structure, to reading.
On the second day of E-Dev which was held in Soepoyo Hall FEB UNAIR the next day (27/04/19), armed with knowledge from the previous day's training, FEB students took the TOEFL Prediction test which has the exact same mechanism and type and weight of questions as the TOEFL iTP . Later, participants will get their test results in the form of a TOEFL Prediction certificate which is valid nationally.
By holding E-Dev at FEB UNAIR, it is hoped that it can increase interest and knowledge about the importance of TOEFL, and help FEB UNAIR students maximize their English potential and achieve good TOEFL scores.
