Why Executive English Club?
Teaching English as
a foreign language (TEFL), especially in Indonesia, clearly depicts the
situations where students depend very much on the practices facilitated by the
teachers; yet, sadly to say, teaching is still mostly teacher-oriented not
student-oriented. Teacher’s talk time is still more dominant than that of
the students.

Students rarely have
the chance to continue their English learning outside their study hours and
Indonesian language is still used as the medium of instruction. To make things
worse, students have nobody to practice within their daily activities. Furthermore, there is this notion
of the so called “anti-nationalism” whenever they try to use English in their
social encounters. Friends will usually mock at other friends who are using
English in everyday contexts. Those using English are considered arrogant, selfish
and western-minded. Practicing English is only possible in limited zones named
classrooms. All in all, the biggest challenge to make English learning really
fruitful is still the same all over Indonesia, i.e. how
to provide additional practices outside the students’ regular study hours.
It is inevitable, then, that English learning does
need the existence of Executive English Club. So, you’d better make use of this
Club in order to make you fluent in English. EEC is also there to increase socialization and boost
