I am an English Education lecturer at Universitas Nusa Cendana, Indonesia with academic background and experience in English language teaching and teacher education. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Lingusitics and Education at UNSW Sydney, with a focus on English Language Teaching, during which I completed a capstone research project and was actively involved in academic collaborations. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Education at UNSW Sydney, supported by the Australia Awards Scholarship.
My PhD research focuses on the transformative impact of AI technology in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching and learning within Indonesian higher education. My study investigates how generative AI tools enhance learning engagement and support language instruction post-pandemic.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have developed skills in curriculum development, language assessment, academic supervision, and educational research. I have facilitated numerous teacher training programs, particularly in IELTS preparation and academic writing. My work often incorporates project-based and problem-based learning, especially in writing and language testing courses.
As a researcher and educator, I am passionate about exploring innovative and equitable approaches to language education, particularly in the integration of emerging technologies.
