A.PERTANYAAN DI
LEMBARAN BEASISWA
Pertanyaan Mengapa
Belajar di Australia
Why do you want to study in Australia?
Studying in Australia is a way to
realize my future goals and link between my background study and future goals.
This country has definitely occupied an absolute world leading position in
educational fields, not to mention in Language Teaching and Educational
Technology. In relation to my research topic, Australia has applied distance
education for school-aged children in the remote areas. The distance education
system blends Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the
implementation. This will enable me gain advanced theories, technologies, and
information that will facilitate me immensely to become an accomplished
professional in the field of education.
Pertanyaan Skill dan kemampuan yang ingin diraih
What skills and knowledge do you hope to gain and how do you propose to
use them?
I hope to
gain skills and knowledge about how to create and implement a distance learning
system combined with ICT (Information and Communications Technology ) for rural
education. I will use these skills and knowledge to create a distance learning
system and implement it for school-aged children in remote areas in Indonesia.
The distance learning system will be an alternative solution for the unequal
distribution in quality of education between remote areas and cities in
Indonesia.
Permasalahan atau tantangan yang pernah dihadapi
How have you contributed to solving a challenge and to implementing a
change or reform? (be specific and include: what aspects of your leadership
knowledge, skills and practice you consider to be well established and
effective; which people or organization you work with to solve the problem, and
what creative methods were used?)
I was once
sent by my university in a group to an isolated village in Bengkulu province. I
was the leader of the group. The children in the village had little access to
education. There were limited school buildings, limited qualified teachers,
poor learning facilities and low learning achievements. Together with my friends,
I created daily study groups after school for the children and gave workshops
and trainings for the villagers. This resulted some good changes in the
village. The children’s interest in learning increased and the villagers
learned new knowledge and skills for their living.
Kontribusi yang akan
diberikan selesai kuliah
What specific priority will you contribute to on your return home and how
do you intend to do so?
I will focus
my contribution on the issues of school-aged children’s education in remote
areas in Indonesia. I intend to create a distance education system and
implement it for school-aged children in remote areas in Indonesia to solve the
unequal distribution in quality of education between remote areas and cities. I
have a strong commitment to develop the Community Learning Center that my
friends and I established five years ago. This Community Learning Center will
facilitate “distance learning” for Elementary, Junior, and Senior High School
students in remote areas in Indonesia, especially in my province; Bengkulu.
Program yang dilamar
Paragraf
pertama didalam study objective berisi tentang program apa yang dilamar,
misalnya Master’s degree. Kemudian, jurusan apa yang dituju. Berikan alasan
kenapa tertarik dengan jurusan tersebut. Apa yang bisa dikerjakan atau
dipelajari di jurusan itu? Keuntungan atau pengetahuan seperti apa yang bisa
diberikan oleh jurusan itu.
Contoh:
I am
applying for a master’s program in English teaching either in TESOL or in
TEFL/TESL. I have a high interest in learning the theory and gaining practical
experiences of teaching English, i.e. the four language skills (listening,
speaking, reading and writing) using integrated approaches, methods, and
techniques for an effective teaching and learning process. Besides, I am
further aware of the technology development in education, such as the use of
audio-video, and computer software and animation, in order to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of classroom interaction. I believe that this
master’s program can prepare me to assume a specialty in the field of English
teaching approaches, methods, and techniques supported by the use of multimedia
and educational technology focusing not only to classroom practice but also to
self-access study.
Rencana penelitian
Paragraf
selanjutnya berisi tentang rencana penelitian yang akan dilakukan ketika studi
nanti. Apa topik penelitian yang akan dikerjakan? Apa latar belakang dan
manfaat dari penelitian itu? Kita Contoh:
In the
master’s program, I plan to conduct a research on integrated and practical
English teaching methods taking into account various life contexts of the
learners. I believe the methods implemented in one context should be different
from those in another context. Because there are many factors influencing the
success of learning, such as, culture, experience in learning a new language,
knowledge, family background, and future goal, the teaching methods used in the
classroom must be different for different learners. Briefly, this research will
raise issues of the learners’ differences in English teaching, then explore and
integrate the diversity to develop the most suitable pedagogical methods and
syllabus.
Skill dan pengetahuan yang dapat
menunjang studi
Didalam
study objective, perlu dijelaskan apa saja skill dan pengetahun yang telah kita
miliki agar dapat menunjang studi kita nanti. Bagaimana pendidikan kita
sebelumnya berkaitan dengan studi yang akan diambil ini? Apa saja
publikasi-publikasi yang telah kita lakukan? Contoh:
My bachelor
study on English Teacher Training and Education has prepared me with a strong
ground in English and theoretical aspects of teaching which can contribute to
personal and professional development and taking a master’s program. I have
learned about the theory of studying and learning, the professions of
education, teaching English as a foreign language, curriculum and material
development, and teaching in practice in my bachelor study, with flying colors.
I have also written scientific papers and articles on education since I was an
undergraduate student. One of the papers was awarded as a runner up in
“Sayembara Ide (Idea Competition)”at provincial level. My articles have also
been published in a bilingual newspaper. At the end of my undergraduate study,
I received a full mark for my undergraduate thesis on English education. Such
experiences are certainly interconnected, and from which I have learnt that
English teaching should be dominated by advanced concepts and assisted by
effective teaching strategies. For this reason, my background indicates that I
have prepared myself to perform well in my future study

Studying in
England is a way to realize my future goal and to link between my educational
background and my future goal. I am very sure that this country has definitely
occupied an absolute world leading position in English teaching. Advanced
theories, technologies, and information in this country will facilitate me
immensely in the achievement of remarkable progress, fulfilling my aspiration
to become an accomplished professional in the field of English teaching.
Rencana Masa
Depan
My future
goal is to be a specialist in the field of English teaching as I have strong a
commitment to develop the community learning centre that my friends and I
established three years ago. This community learning centre will facilitate
“distance learning” for elementary, junior, and senior high school students in
remote areas of Bengkulu Province, such as in Kaur Regency, Seluma Regency, and
North Bengkulu Regency. As a graduate from the Faculty of English Teacher
Training and Education, I have the responsibility to run a good English
teaching practice in the community learning centre. However, the most
challenging part in the project is the fact that the students come from
different cultures, family backgrounds, educations, mother tongues, or even
views of life that will absolutely influence the success of the children in
reaching the language learning goal. Therefore, my future study in this
master’s program will be very beneficial for me in enriching my knowledge of
integrating learners’ differences into the most appropriate English teaching methods
to be implemented in the community learning centre. Besides, my experience in
doing this research will apparently create systematic concepts in my mind about
formulating practical English teaching methods based on the diversity of the
learners. As a result, in the future I will be able to design the most
appropriate
Riwayat pendidikan, publikasi dan prestasi
I
accomplished my study on English Teacher Training and Education for three years
and eight months, and gained a bachelor degree in April 2009 from Bengkulu
University. Since I was a student, I have been a teaching practitioner. I have
put the theories I learnt at college into practice at different levels of
educational institutions (e.g., elementary, junior, and senior high schools)
and English courses. Out of my teaching career, I have developed a heartfelt
love to this profession. I have received some awards that endow me with a
strong sense of pride and achievement. Those include obtaining at runner up
winner in “Sayembara Ide (idea competition)” at provincial level, having my
articles published in a bilingual newspaper, and being a participant in JICA
Japan seminar in Bengkulu province. Besides, I have also developed leadership
skills by joining organizations such as English Department Student Association,
Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Muslim Indonesia (a unity of indonesian muslim student
action), Pengembangan, Penelitian, dan Penalaran Mahasiswa (students
development, research, and analysis), in which I have frequently played
educational roles.
Pengalaman
Kerja atau Magang
Contoh:
Since I graduated from university, I have been
working as an English lecturer in Bengkulu University. In this University, I
teach English in some departments, such as Dept. Law, Dept. Match, Dept. Accounting,
Dept. Chemistry, Dept. Biology, Dept. Machine Engineering, and Dept. Economics.
In addition, I teach English in Nursing
and Midwife Academic. In my teaching practice, I always move from the
conventional English teaching strategies to creative teaching by using, for
instance, visual media, mini plays, role plays, drama, classroom debates, and
out-bond. I unify among the learners needs, materials, and facilities in
choosing the appropriate teaching strategies. Consequently, I have gained
experience of how to devise a lesson, select teaching materials, facilitate
active classroom activities, and choose the most effective teaching strategies.
These have then enabled me to see how my ideas and innovations have led me to
desired results and made me suitably qualified to apply this master’s program.

To reach my
long term goal, I would like emphasize my future study on the English language
teaching methodologies (e.g. silent way, natural, and direct) and approaches
(e.g. task-based, structural, communicative), with the use of educational technology
and multimedia, and gaining practical experiences of designing syllabus,
developing materials and assesments, integrating the learning of the four
skills into appropriate course units, and exploring pedagogical methods. For
this instance, my background on education will certainly be helpful because it
