Joining Next Generation TOEFL Workshop

A very good jump start for the new year. After being rejected for the first two workshop for the reasons of over quota, finally we made it to join the workshop led by beautiful Diana Jahja from IIEF. The rigorous workshop was a great reunion as well as a strong networking event. So many familiar faces from Jakarta, Yogya, Bandung, and Semarang.

I learned a lot and now at least would be daring to answer questions about NG-TOEFL.
This new format of TOEFL and its new approach for me is more challenging and interesting. I believe it makes more sense now than the format before. Now we really need to master the skills of communicating and using Englsih intead of only mastering about the rules of and about English.

However, the most challenge I think was designing teacher training modules so that they can prepare the students taking TOEFL accordingly. I had a sketch already, and I planned to present it to the English Language Fellows in the Mid-Year Conference to come. Hope it would also help them especially when they were requested to talk about NGT.
