| dc.description.abstract | In the competitive era, stipulating standard competence of the university graduates
in Indonesia has become the essential one. With the standardized competence, it is expected
that equal capabilities will be owned by the university graduates of the same study fields
throughout Indonesia. To realize this, the curriculum guide published by the Ministry of
Education and Culture, 2012 has given a room for higher education institutions of the same
study fields to work collaboratively to formulate core competences of their university
graduates. The existing problem at the present time is that each study program tries to stipulate
core competencies of its graduates based on its own decision. To overcome this problem, the
National Standard of Higher Education has recommended the establishment of association of
study program. With the spirit of standardizing the curriculum of academic education for
prospective English teachers in Indonesia, it is expected that core competencies will be
stipulated by the association of English education study program. If core competences have
been developed, the curriculum developers at the level of study program can continue the
process by formulating the supporting competences which mirror the vision, mission and
uniqueness of each study program. | en_US |
