– The role of English in supporting future career success
– Tips and tricks for learning English- Sharing English learning platforms (social media, organizations, etc.)
After the presentation, there was a Q&A session that the students utilized to the fullest, students who participated asking questions ranging from tips on answering English questions on the university entrance exam (UTBK), the sequence of English skills to learn, to questions about organizations and competitions the speaker had participated in while learning English.
Overall, the students were ensured to have set goals after graduating from high school, whether pursuing higher education or entering the workforce.
