“In principle, I am very happy and proud because many students are starting to have an interest in foreign languages, not only French but also English, Arabic, Korean and Mandarin. Your marketable skills in the global economy are improved if you master another language,” Said Amany.

The French language course has been completely held for one month starting on September 15, 2020. The implementation of this course aims to improve the quality of soft skills, competence, and student professionalism. The course was attended by 20 participants, both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Technically, this virtual French course consists of 24 sessions. The duration of the course is 150 minutes per session or 60 hours in one month. Of the 24 sessions, there was one special session for direct native speakers from France, namely Sylvain Lelong-Lacroix (Coordinator of Campus France Indonesia) and guided by a person in charge of the course, Syarah Andriani.
