I am an on-leave lecturer of English in the State Polytechnic of Malang, Indonesia. Currently I am a Ph.D. candidate of Monash University, Australia. I have been working for the State Polytechnic of Malang since 1993.
I finished my bachelor (1993) and master (2005) degrees both at State University of Malang, Indonesia. In 2004 I took a short course on English for Business Purposes in Russo Institute of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.
Education is of my great interest, and I am always very keen to conduct research on this field. Most of my research deals with English teaching and learning in Indonesia some of which were about students’ improvement in reading and speaking skills, students’ motivation to learn a foreign language, and teaching and learning strategies. I won some research grant (national scope) from Indonesia government as well.
I am also very much interested in participating in conferences, most of which were conducted in Indonesia. In December 2009 I also presented in an international conference on the teaching of English as a foreign language in Indonesia.
I wrote some teaching modules all of which were funded by Indonesia government, and I wrote some publications. These modules and publications were written in English.
