Progress Test

One of the most important competence the students should have is academic English. So, it is very important to monitor their progress in acquiring academic English proficiency time to time. On Sunday morning, 16 February 2014, we tested our students’ academic English as a part of monitoring their progress.

The test was held at Aula FKIP Untan and taken by most of our students. Based on the test result we advised the students about how they follow up their scores. It is our standard that the students’ academic English should be higher than 500 in paper-based TOEFL score before they apply for viva.
