Internship

Field Work Practices (PKL) are activities carried out following all activities (active participation) at the PKL location. PKL aims to ensure that students have work experience in the field of foreign languages at an official agency or institution so that as far as possible they get the opportunity to apply what they have acquired during their education.

Field work practice is deemed necessary because of the rapidly changing growth and development of foreign language knowledge. PKL will increase the ability to observe, study and assess theory and the reality that occurs in the field which ultimately can improve students’ managerial quality in observing problems and issues, both in the form of theoretical applications and actual reality. This PKL is expected to foster a sense of professional responsibility in students. PKL ends with the submission of the PKL report.
