Economic English Club
Economic English Club is an event that serves as a place of development for those who want to practice their soft skills in public speaking don't use English. This activity is intended for students who wish to practice their English speaking skills in order to participate in debate competitions such as the Model United Nations and English debate competitions.
This activity was carried out in the even semester of the 2017/2018 academic year at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Airlangga. The event was attended by around 25 selected participants.
The activity was opened on March 16 2018, where participants were given the basics about Model United Nations (MUN) and after that, the MUN simulation itself was run where participants took part in activities such as moderated caucus, unmoderated caucus, and submission of conclusions.
Then routine training is carried out for one meeting in two weeks which is expected to improve the skills of the participants when they want to take part in MUN competitions, debates, or other speaking skills.
The following are some of the issues discussed at the meeting:
- The 2nd meeting, on April 13 2018 led by Brother Iqbal Alfiansyah, where the participants started the MUN simulation with the theme "Freedom of Religion"
- The 3rd meeting, on May 4, 2018 was guided by Brother Iqbal Alfiansyah, where the participants discussed the topic of cooperation between South Korea and North Korea
With the EEC, a TOEFL seminar will also be held which will be held on November 9 and 10 2018, with the aim of providing useful information for students of the Faculty of Economics and Business who want to take the TOEFL, ELPT, or the like. The seminar was also continued with an ELPT test by the Airlangga University Language Center as a form of collaboration.
This is done to help students who have not been able to meet the TOEFL standard for graduation and also those who want to improve their ELPT scores. It is hoped that with this seminar, BEM FEB Unair can launch the graduation process and also help those who are still learning to develop further.
