In an effort to implement the curriculum, it is urgent that material

development be synergized with the curriculum so as to meet its

proper and applicable implementation. A number of grants have been

awarded to our faculty members for designing instructional materials.

Systematical arrangement of instructional materials is to minimize the

gap between planned curriculum and implemented curriculum.

FTTE UMM keeps striving to develop curriculum through a

long-listed agenda: designing course outlines, materials, media, and

evaluation instruments. Those four key components fulfill the National

Standard of Higher Education. Until recently, FTTE UMM has developed

instructional materials for 27 selected courses, comprising 9 pedagogy

courses and 18 content specific courses.

This Speaking book is the manifestation of our incessant contribution

to the field of education. Not only does it contain several relevant topics,

but it is equipped with various activities to accommodate students with

active, meaningful, and independent learning as well. It is then specially

wrapped in the form of hybrid learning materials.

Finally, it is highly expected that FTTE UMM, through its continuous

efforts, could achieve the standards as stipulated by the Curriculum

of Higher Education, aiming for the National Standard of Higher

Education in Indonesia.
