Thanks pak Asrul for your stimulate the discussion in english... I agree that the majority of the newly graduated from college in Indonesia, not ready for work especially if we view from the aspect of her soft skills. This occurs because there are too dominant academic culture than the establishment of interpersonal skills on campus. In fact, industry providers are generally more in need graduates who not only has the technical ability appropriate academic (hard skill), but also aspects of good soft skills. Hard skills could be prepared, that we obtained through lectures. However, soft skills acquired through learning by doing.
Further the ability of soft skills determine in work competition. In principle, the domain of the workforce is interact with many people. That's why we need the universal language. The world has changed. We can no longer live alone in our country anymore. If you want to learn the world you need to learn english. We can open ourselves to the world and the only way we can connect to the world is to the unviersal language. India, malaysia, singapure has began, we are just starting. That's it from me...I hope this discussion can stimulate other member to speak and write in english. Odu olo, Sofyan PS : Correct me if I'm wrong ________________________________ Dari: M.

I kindly tried to stimulate the discussion in english on some previous topics only to find myself being 'kindly warned' by one of the mailist member that : "Not all members here can comprehend english!" So? Back to the topic. Let's just say that currently I've had a fortunate circumstance whereby I've had to encounter many Indians with regards to work. A small comment from me is that our (in this case represented by "my") level of intelligence do not fall far from their level of comprehension especially related to work affairs. And this can even be extended to many of my countrymen who're also working together with me. It's true that in term of english literacy we have a lot to catch up with, while those Indians were far more ready. To cut this short, Indians are ready to "sell" themselves right after graduation day whereas us do not know how to. Hope this small insight can bring another side of thought as to how we need to look on our higher education achievement. Sorry, if this writing does not bring any new idea to the table. Wassalam warahmatullah. ________________________________ From: Sofyan Uli <sofyan...@yahoo. co.id> To: gorontalomaju2020@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Sat, April 24, 2010 11:04:31 AM Subject: Bls: [GM2020] Bercermin pada Mutu Pendidikan India Iya betul skali ... bahasa inggris sangat penting. saya pernah bertemu dgn org india. Bahasa inggrisnya sangat fasih, jelas skali dengan ciri khas logat indianya. Jadi kita org indonesia khususnya gtlo, jangan malu untuk berbicara bhs inggris walau salah2. Campur2 juga tidak apa2. Bahkan kalo bisa dengan ciri khas logat inggris gtlo hehehehe. Kalo ada yg bilang dengan belajar bhs inggris mengurangi rasa nasionalisme kita. Mereka salah besar. Lihat saja malaysia, singapura, philipina. Apakah rasa nasionalisme berkurang? Justru dengan kemampuan yang bagus dalam berbahasa Inggris, tenaga kerja mereka dihargai lebih tinggi dari kita. Miris memang..padahal dilihat dari etos kerja kita jauh lebih baik dari mereka. Skali2 kita mungkin perlu berdiskusi di milis ini dalam bahasa inggris. Saya liat udah ada beberapa member yang memulainya. Tapi walaupun kita harus bisa berbahasa Inggris tentunya juga harus fasih berbahasa ibu. (Bhs gorontalo). Dan juga bahasa indonesia supaya kita bisa menulis dgn baik dan benar seperti saya ini :D ________________________________ Dari: Iqbal <kaizen...@yahoo. com> Kepada: "gorontalomaju2020@ yahoogroups. com" <gorontalomaju2020@ yahoogroups. com> Terkirim: Jum, 23 April, 2010 23:39:33 Judul: Re: [GM2020] Bercermin pada Mutu Pendidikan India Artikel yang menarik.. Satu hal yang menonjol dari India dibanding negara2 berkembang lain adalah kemampuan berbahasa Inggris dan mereka benar2 mengoptimalkan kelebihan ini dalam meningkatkan kualitas hidupnya.
