TEAMING UP FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

DIG DIVE YOUR PROBLEMS WITH YOUR TEAM AND FEEL TOGETHERNESS THERE

Here we are now on the 3rd part of our class project assignment. We have a sophisticated program to do together in a team and not by my self. At first, I wanted to do it all by myself but then when Ibu Septi confirmed us that this is team project so it is time for every team to work together and discuss the problem statement. I have my problem and my member team has also her own problem. To complete the activities, we do the guidance shared by Ibu Septi and it is chronologically put in an order so I have self confidence to explain to my one and only member to talk our project.

I start explaining my problem statement and we are then discussing the first Step. I invited the member last Thursday to talk about our project. So, last night (11/August/ 2021) we start the meeting by my first turn. I explain the agenda and I went on explaining my problem statement then I asked her to tell and inform her problem statement, then from our own point of view, we take a mutual problem statement:

Here is the result of this point:

My problem: Applying English Soft skill to be able to compete in International education, industry and business

Your problem (1): English Soft skill Bahasa become a necessity to enable us to come and interact among International community in the field of education that will support the work performance in business or industry

Your problem (2): English becomes a compulsory part of a profession to build and develop International network especial in design graphic field of work.

Our problem: The ability of English Communication as supported soft skill to succeed the activities in further education, business and Industry

I really enjoy talking and discussing about understanding our problem statement as we spend much time to find out the solution but then I remember that we have to design a star bursting brainstorming to dig dive our problem statement and to find out our mutual understanding on that part.

To support our concern and our further program, we have to completed some activities to dig dive Our problem statement and to make sure that our concern is justified by the experts comment.

Marianna Pascal in TED Talks informed that learning a language should be like you are playing a video game, It means that you should say it like you play a game and you enjoy it. If you find mistake than you could learn to fix it while you are playing the game again and again. Repetition and habits formation Besides, she also shows how the secret to speaking a new language with confidence is all about attitude, not ability.

Meanwhile, the issue of MEA (Asean Economic Community) that English becomes the language that further education, business, and industry and that will open everyone who live in South Asia nations to study, work or have a business in any of those countries. From this point, Indonesia has take part to compete among the Asean countries to show our ability to walk together and to maintain good relationship and to pursue better nation welfare. How to enable us to be able to compete with other people from other countries in Asean is by having a set of abilities including English. In fact, the weakness of our graduates, for example, is the level of self-confidence in speaking English. Most of them feel worried to make mistakes while having a conversation, for example. Although English is a tool and supported part that can be applied in their field of work or study. The obstacles of speaking English become the problem and consequently the opportunities to get better work, business or further study.

The problems should be solved and running a program to improve the English skill can open job opportunities widely. Socializing by campaigning and promoting English to maintain and improve their quality work performance will give more beneficial points for not only for every individual achievement but also for our nation.
