I am interested in participating in a postgraduate study program to improve my English language skills, which I think my level of English skill is still far from the good category. Where this will have an impact on my duties and obligations, namely an educator who will later provide knowledge of English to students in my school environment.
My own goal is to gain as much knowledge as possible at a higher level, so that they can become human resources who are ready to compete in this modern era of technology.

Thinking back about my undergraduate study in Faculty of Letters and traying to relate with my previous profession as an English teacher, I completely realize that I really need to learn about English Education in terms of pedagogical methods, language teaching methods, and all methods related to the enhancing students to the language taught.

It is so important  for teachers to learn more to upgrade their knowledge and skills because educators should always be aware of the development of science, including in teaching approaches, research demands, the English language itself, and so on. More over, with the fact that we are now having millennial students with their super English skills, there has been a great demand to upgrade English teaching ability. By participating in this English Education study program, I expect to broaden my knowledge and sharpen my skills in teaching English.  

I also realize that students presently have a great potential capability in English starting from their early stage and it means that they own the same strength to use English to add their professional values when their graduate. For that reason, it is so much important for teacher to keep developing the skills and knowledge.

When I got my bachelor's degree,I felt satisfied with it, since I able to be the English teacher as well.Days,months and years passed by.I began to feel my English skills needed to be level up and sharpen to make me deal with the race to the employment.As a English's teacher we do need to improve our English skills and never stop to learn.Our students deserve to get knowledge from the expert and in this case we are the person ,at least according to their thought.So we have to keep such a trust and take this responsibility by upskilling our skills.And this is the one of the reasons why I take this program.The last but not the least and to be honest,having a postgraduate's degree under our belt will catch more attentions and will improve our job prospects.Based on the research conducts by Higher Education Policy Institute in 2020 found that the postgraduate's pocket 18% more than bachelor's degree holders six months after the graduation,it is so tempting,is'n it???
