Facility Checklist

GUIDE

Questions specific to English Education to bring to an open house or campus visit. Important facilities vary by program — these matter most.

Note: Myjor doesn't maintain a facilities database per campus. This is a tool for you to assess it yourself.

Is a language laboratory available with functioning audio equipment for listening and speaking practice?
Does the microteaching room have cameras or recording devices for reviewing teaching practice?
Do students have access to a library and language education journal databases?
Is a room or online learning platform available for practicing the design of digital classes?
Does the campus provide access to software or digital resources for creating language teaching materials?
How do students access partner schools for observation and teaching practice?
Can the laboratory and partner school facilities be used on a regular basis, not just during specific activities?

Tip: ask for a tour of the relevant labs/studios, not just the main building. Ask about access hours and whether undergrads can use the equipment.

04

Academic Quality

GUIDE

Three objective ways to assess a program's academic quality — including how to check them yourself.

A

Program accreditation status

Check the program's own accreditation rating (not just the campus's) on official sites. International accreditation is a plus for certain fields.

Unggul / A — top tier Baik Sekali / B Baik / C

Check at: BAN-PT (banpt.or.id) or the relevant LAM, & PDDIKTI (pddikti.kemdikbud.go.id).

B

Student–faculty ratio & how to calculate it

ratio = active students ÷ full-time faculty
Example: 600 students ÷ 25 faculty = 1 : 24
✓Ideal: ≈1:20 for STEM/science fields, ≈1:30 for social sciences/humanities (per Ministry of Education guidance).
!The smaller the second number, the more attention each student gets. Above 1:40 is worth flagging.
!Also check faculty qualifications (Master's/PhD) and whether there are industry practitioner lecturers.
C

Faculty research — relevant & current?

Look up faculty profiles and publications (Google Scholar / SINTA). For English Education, look for those researching currently relevant topics:

The effectiveness of English teaching methods on speaking skillsThe development of English teaching materials and instructional mediaThe assessment of English language proficiency in schoolsThe use of technology and online learning in ELTThe teaching of vocabulary and grammar in an EFL contextLearning strategies for listening, reading, speaking, and writingLearner motivation and anxiety in learning EnglishThe development of English teachers' competenciesEnglish language learning for specific purposes or vocational contextsThe needs analysis of English language learners

E.g., is there faculty researching AI, or cancer-related topics? Active research topics signal the program keeps up with the field.

ASK AT THE OPEN HOUSE

"What's this program's student–faculty ratio? What research topics are faculty currently working on? What percentage of graduates find field-relevant jobs within 6 months?"

05

Partnerships

GUIDE

Campus partnerships heavily shape internship, research, and career paths. Which partners matter varies by program — here's what's relevant for English Education.

Partner schools for teaching practice and school-based practicum
Ask for a list of active partner schools, the type of observation or practice involved, the number of students placed per year, and who the field supervisors are.
Course institutes and language centers
Ask about teaching opportunities, classroom observation, material development, and student performance evaluation.
Publishers and teaching material developers
Ask about development projects, editing, or trial testing of English language materials for students.
Language certification and teacher training partners
Ask about access to preparation and competency exams such as TOEFL and IELTS, or teaching training.
Exchange programs and international partners
Ask about exchange programs, guest lectures, teaching assistantships, and language proficiency requirements.
Joint research with educational institutions
Ask about collaborative research opportunities, access to research sites, publications, and student grants.
Industry partners for English for Specific Purposes
Ask about company involvement in material development, internships, or job-specific language training.
Community service activities
Ask whether students can teach English in communities, local schools, or social institutions.

Ask for a list of official partners with active MoUs — not just logos in a brochure. Ask how many students are actually placed each year.
