First speaker : Dr. Domingo R.ortega , Jr.

What are you looking for coming to university? You are looking for quality. Quality means is what people talk about. Pillars of eduaction.

First is teaching. Teaching means Profession of those who give instruction, especially in an elementary or secondary school or a university. The teaching profession is a relatively new one. Traditionally, parents, elders, religious leaders, and sages were responsible for teaching children how to behave and think and what to believe. Germany introduced the first formal criteria for the education of teachers in the 18th century. In the 19th century, as society became more industrialized, the concept of schooling became more universal. In industrialized nations today, most teachers are university graduates. Teacher-training programs usually include both general and specialized academic, cultural, or vocational courses; the study of educational principles; and a series of professional courses combined with practical experience in a typical school setting. Most countries also require professional certification following formal training.

Second is research. Research means creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects, or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) aredocumentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development of methods and systems for the advancement of humanknowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. Thesis writing with confidence. Apply what you know and share with your community.

Education value is the key to personal, academic, and professional success in life. You will realize happiness and self-fulfillment in life, achieve your highest potential in school and work, benefit those around you, and contribute to human society as a whole, if you pursue a life of virtue.

Mr.Abbas

Cross cultural communication and different cultural values

Cross cultural understanding simply refers to the basic ability of people within business to recognise, interpret and correctly react to people, incidences or situations that are open to misunderstanding due to cultural differences. The fundamental intention of cross cultural training is to equip the learner(s) with the appropriate skills to attain cross cultural understanding.

Once the foundations of cross cultural understanding have been laid, the learner(s), either through continued training or experiences within the workplace, gradually attains a more acute appreciation of cultural differences. The different types of appreciation are cross cultural knowledge, cross cultural awareness, cross cultural sensitivity and cross cultural competence. Although all the terms may appear similar in meaning, subtle differences exist between them.

he ability to work with people from other cultures is becoming increasingly necessary in our global work environment. Even if you never travel abroad,it’s important to be ready to mix with other cultures as each year the number of immigrants is increasing. Likewise, the number of interpersonal exchanges at theglobal level via video and teleconferences is becoming more frequent. Most people with little cultural understanding struggle with the differences theyexperience relating to others from another culture. Deep inside many of us is a belief that relating to a person from another culture should be easy. When it isn’t easy andthe differences are pronounced, our reaction is often impatience and even hostility.

Both the turtle and the hummingbird exist for very specific reasons, and we would not be at all successfultrying to force one to become like the other.It’s better to seek to understand the culturaldifferences at a deep level, improving our culturalintelligence and our ability to relate successfullywith a wide variety of differences. The purpose of this article is to explore and expand our culturalunderstanding in an attempt to improve crosscultural relations.The United States culture grooms people from an early age to think independently andtake risk and initiative. They are encouraged to be an individual and follow their ownpath, to show creativity in their classroom assignments, and they often see themselvesas equal to authority. Outside the United States, the rules are very different. Countries

Mr. Arum priadi

A contribution of discourse to promote foreign language acquisition for indonesian learners.

Discoure knowledge means understand each other. In the simplest sense discourse is conversation, or information. For Michel Foucault it is through discourse (through knowledge) that we are created. Think of it this way: If it is true that we are the sum of our experiences (the knowledge we encounter), then those in control of our early life experiences have enormous power. In an isolated family, a child's knowledge depends upon just a few people. In a sense, those few people create the child's identity. The child cannot know anything but what is communicated by them.

Discourse joins power and knowledge, and its power follows from our casual acceptance of the reality with which we are presented. If our identity  is created by the media, as it is increasingly, our world view is limited to the world view of those isolated, rich, individuals; we are made to think that we, too, should have a mercedes thereby making those in control even richer. Discourse is created and perpetuated by those who have the power and means of communication. Those who are in control decide who we are by deciding what we discuss.

Suggestion :

1. Conducive environment

2. Foreign language student, they are more interested to learn on English as the second      language
