Supporting International-Standard Learning, Project-Based Learning Laboratory of FEB UNS Develops English for Economic and Business Module

The Project-Based Learning (PBL), Laboratory of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Sebelas Maret (FEB UNS), organized a coordination meeting to develop the English for Economic and Business module on Friday, 26 September 2025. This activity followed-up the previous Workshop on Semester Learning Plan (RPS) and English Teaching Material Development, held on 19 September 2025.

The meeting took place in Meeting Room 2, Soeharno Building, FEB UNS, and was attended by the Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., along with lecturers representing each study program at FEB UNS. This coordination meeting marked a concrete step in preparing the English for Economic and Business module according to each program’s learning needs.

In her remarks, Prof. Tri emphasized that this module development serves as an essential follow-up to the previous workshop, aiming to strengthen the application of the RPS design and align it more closely with the intended learning outcomes. She also highlighted the importance of continuously improving students’ English proficiency to meet the demands of both the professional world and international academic settings.

The module development process involved three working groups consisting of lecturers from different study programs. Each group was assigned specific tasks based on text types and economic-business themes. The coordination resulted in several key agreements. Each group is required to collect and compile texts with different characteristics according to the chapter type (e.g., explanation, report, recount). Every chapter must include one text of up to one page and one audio podcast of up to five minutes. All materials must be developed using the standardized module template provided by the PBL Laboratory. The submission deadline for the module drafts is set for 10 October 2025, with all documents to be compiled through the designated official RPS and module preparation virtual workspace.

The meeting proceeded in an active and collaborative atmosphere, with lecturers exchanging ideas and experiences in selecting effective English learning approaches for economics and business students. Through this initiative, FEB UNS aims to produce an English module that not only strengthens students’ language skills but also enhances their analytical and communication abilities in professional contexts.

This activity also reflects the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the improvement of learning quality, and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by preparing competent human resources with global competitiveness.
