Student Voices: Hidayat

Enrolling in the ILE: TESOL Program was a transformative experience both for my personal and professional development. I am deeply grateful for the two years spent in the program, during which I could learn and gain an enormous amount of knowledge of both theoretical aspects and practical skills in teaching and research. The invaluable support and guidance I have received from the teacher educators throughout the coursework and the teaching practicum have also enriched my abilities and confidence in teaching. I am currently a doctoral student in the Applied Linguistics and English Language Education doctoral program (A newly established English medium PhD program track at Soka University) while working part-time as an instructor at a private university. My future plan is to contribute through my research in inclusive education within English language education, pursuing a path as an inclusive educator, author, and researcher.
