ELT Journal Writing Workshop in Bandung

Heather Philips and Damon Anderson facilitated a 3-day workshop on ELT Journal Writing in ITB Language Center, Bandung. This workshop was actually the program of FKSU (Eastern part of Indonesian University Forum) and RELO was requested to provide the facilitator(s).

The objective of workshop was to encourage ELT practioners to write qualified journal and to be able to publish their writings in an international journals. The worshop was attended by 13 lecturers under FKSU, 1 from UNIPA Manokwari, 2 from UNCEN, Jayapura, 3 from UNSRAT Manado, 2 from UNPATTI Ambon (RELO gave partial travel grant), 2 from UNHALU Kendari, 2 from USD Yogyakarta, and me.

Some of the pariticipants were ready with their paper, some were really novice in the area of writing.

Heather was the main facilitator and Damon came on the second day to fill up and strengthen the information as he has a fast knowledge as editors.

From the workshop we learned that it was indeed tough to get our journal published in an international reputable publication, since our style of writing was different. We also learned that each publication has its own style and requirements. Rejections were something normal and no need to have a hard feeling over it. However, most of us decided to give it a try.

Here are some photos from the sessions:
