In the age of globalization and interconnectedness, academic collaboration transcends borders and brings together scholars from diverse regions to enrich the world’s knowledge pool. Such is the case with the collaborative effort between Prof. Dra. Hj. Utami Widiati, M.A., Ph.D., and Dr. Tengku Intan Suzila Tengku Sharif, M.Sc., from Universitas Teknologi MARA, Malaysia. Together, they embarked on a transformative research journey from April 6, 2023, to November 10, 2023, focusing on “Indonesian Undergraduate EFL Students’ Responses to the Implementation of the Critical Global Literacy (CGL) Framework: A Case Study.”
This collaborative research project serves as a testament to the power of global academic cooperation. Prof. Utami Widiati and Dr. Tengku Intan Suzila Tengku Sharif bridged geographical boundaries to delve into a crucial facet of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education in Indonesia.
The research project is centered around the implementation of the Critical Global Literacy (CGL) framework, a contemporary approach that emphasizes critical thinking, intercultural awareness, and global citizenship in English language education. Through their collaboration, Prof. Utami and Dr. Tengku Intan explored how Indonesian undergraduate EFL students respond to and benefit from this innovative pedagogical approach.
The project’s case study design allowed for an in-depth examination of student experiences and perceptions. It encompassed qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations. The comprehensive approach aimed to provide a holistic view of the impact of the CGL framework on student learning outcomes and global perspectives.
What makes this collaboration particularly noteworthy is the synergy between the two institutions—Universitas Teknologi MARA and their counterpart in Indonesia. The research fosters intercultural understanding and academic exchange, enriching the perspectives of both Indonesian and Malaysian scholars.
As the project progresses, it holds the promise of shedding light on how language education can contribute to fostering critical global literacy among students, equipping them with the skills and awareness needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. Furthermore, it reinforces the idea that collaboration knows no boundaries and that collective efforts in academia can lead to transformative insights and innovations.
Prof. Utami Widiati and Dr. Tengku Intan Suzila Tengku Sharif’s collaborative research endeavor exemplifies the spirit of international cooperation in the pursuit of knowledge and educational improvement. Their joint effort will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on English language education in Indonesia and beyond, fostering a new generation of globally conscious and critically literate individuals.
In an increasingly interconnected world, international education has become a cornerstone of global learning. Acknowledging the multifaceted nature of student development, Dr. Sari Karmina and Prof. Ben Dyson embarked on a transformative research journey from May 1, 2023, to November 30, 2023. Their collaborative project, “Improving Students’ Social and Emotional Wellbeing through Cooperative Learning in International Classroom Programs,” offers insights into enhancing the holistic development of students in today’s diverse and dynamic educational landscape.
Dr. Sari Karmina, a prominent figure in the field of international education, and Prof. Ben Dyson, an esteemed educator from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, joined forces to explore the intersection of cooperative learning and student wellbeing. Their research seeks to unravel the impact of cooperative learning approaches on the social and emotional development of students participating in international classroom programs.
The significance of this research collaboration lies in its holistic approach. Beyond academic achievement, Dr. Karmina and Prof. Dyson delve into the dimensions of social and emotional wellbeing. They recognize that students in international classroom programs face unique challenges and opportunities, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their development.
The research project employs a mixed-methods design, incorporating surveys, interviews, and classroom observations. This multidimensional approach aims to capture both quantitative and qualitative data, providing a nuanced perspective on the experiences of students engaged in cooperative learning within international educational settings.
Cooperative learning, a pedagogical approach that emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and mutual support, serves as the focal point of their investigation. The researchers explore how this approach enhances students’ sense of belonging, interpersonal skills, and emotional resilience. They also consider the role of culturally diverse classroom dynamics in shaping these outcomes.
As the project progresses, Dr. Karmina and Prof. Dyson’s collaboration promises to offer valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and institutions committed to nurturing the holistic development of students. Their research contributes to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the importance of social and emotional wellbeing in education, especially in international and multicultural contexts.
This collaborative research endeavor exemplifies the power of academic cooperation in addressing pressing educational challenges. Dr. Sari Karmina and Prof. Ben Dyson’s joint effort reflects a commitment to enriching the educational experiences of students worldwide. Their findings will undoubtedly provide a roadmap for fostering the social and emotional wellbeing of students in international classroom programs, shaping the future of education in an increasingly interconnected world.

Tim MBKM Fakultas Sastra Universitas Negeri Malang yang berjumlah 10 orang pada hari Rabu, 9 September 2023 melakukan kunjungan studi banding ke Fakultas Ilmu Budaya (FIB) Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP). Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada pukul 10:00-12:00 di ruang Rapat Fakultas Ilmu Budaya Universitas Diponegoro. Kunjungan Studi Banding ini memiliki tujuan seperti yang disampaikan oleh Evynurul Laily Zen, S.S., M.A., Ph.D selaku Wakil Dekan 1 FS UM, untuk melaksanakan diskusi ilmiah tentang sistem pengelolaan MBKM antara lain kebijakan MBKM, Kurikulum MBKM dan Manajemen MBKM. Kegiatan diawali dengan sambutan yang disampaikan oleh dekan FIB UNDIP Dr. Nurhayati, M.Hum beliau memaparkan mengenai sejarah Fakultas Ilmu Budaya UNDIP dan sistem pembelajaran MBKM yang diterapkan di FIB UNDIP. Sambutan kedua disampaikan oleh Evynurul Laily Zen, S.S., M.A., Ph.D beliau memaparkan mengenai maksud dan tujuan kegiatan kunjungan dan keinginan untuk menjalankan kerjasama dalam bidang pendidikan dan pembelajaran. Sedangkan pemaparan proses pelaksanaan MBKM dijelaskan oleh Prof. Dr. Alamsyah, S.S., M.Hum. beliau sebagai wakil dekan 1 bidang Akademik dan Kemahasiswaan. Beliau menyampaikan bahwa pada tahun 2022 berdasarkan data pada PDDIKTI kegiatan MBKM UNDIP dinilai baik. Semenjak program MBKM diluncurkan pada tahun 2019 UNDIP merevisi kurikulum menjadi kurikulum MBKM. Hal tersebut dilakukan agar lebih memudahkan atau memberikan keleluasaan kepada Prodi untuk membuka dan mengkonversi matakuliah bagi mahasiswa yang mengikuti MBKM. Kegiatan MBKM pada FIB UNDIP tidak hanya mengkonversi matakuliah yang belum pernah diambil namun juga dapat digunakan untuk mengkonversi matakuliah yang telah diambil namun mendapat nilai yang kurang memuaskan. MBKM pada FIB UNDIP juga dapat masuk ke dalam SKPI atau juga mahasiswa dapat mengambil 9 matakuliah yang telah disediakan oleh Prodi masing masing. Program MBKM ini sangat penting untuk dikoordinasikan di awal semester dengan PA dan koorprodi untuk meminimalisir kesalahan data.”
Kegiatan kunjungan ke FIB UNDIP berlangsung dengan lancar dan hasil dari kegiatan ini didapatkan best practice yang dapat digunakan sebagai contoh penerapan dan management MBKM, selain ini kegiatan ini menghasilkan kerjasama yang dituangkan dalam PKS antara fakultas Sastra UM dengan FIB UNDIP yang bertujuan untuk sama sama memberikan manfaat untukkedua belah pihak. Harapan dengan diadakannya kegiatan ini adalah dapat meningkatkan kualitas kinerja organisasi dan pengelolaan MBKM dengan menjalin relasi dan mempererat komunikasi.
