Integrating Supranational and National Frameworks into Local Tourism-Related English Courses

This article is aimed at identifying ways in which Learning Freedom bridges the gap between student’s English skills and the English competencies expected in supra-national documents such as Common European Frame of Reference, Common ASEAN Tourism Curriculum, and Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF). Using tourism core competencies (Semrad, et al, 2012; Zehrer & Mössenlechner, 2009) and competency-based learning theories (Cañado, 2012; Dooly, 2013), the study extracts competencies in the documents and, using syllabus development theories (Alsubaie, 2016), it integrates them into English for Tourism and Hospitality syllabus. Using student active learning paradigms (Seigel & Rockwood, 1993), it also teases out how Learning Freedom as an education policy offers opportunities to educational trainings. Data were collected through note-taking of key ideas in the policy documents and through interviews of tourism stakeholders, experts, and practitioners. The information was identified and classified based on content. The study explicated 47 key ideas, half of which are integrated into an English-for-Tourism-and-Hospitality syllabus and another half was implemented through 2-day industrial visit practicum and 8-day on-the-job internship programs implemented within Learning Freedom paradigms. The study shows effective use of the materials in increasing English competencies but the increase is below the target and more training is recommended.

ASEAN University Network in Enhancing Student Mobility

Internationalization of higher education pushes for more intensive regional collaborations as well as student mobility. There are a plethora of studies exploring student mobility patterns, but research on the transformative potential of regional mobility networks is limited. As the most predominant regional network of universities in Southeast Asia, ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) University Network (AUN) commits to boosting student mobility in the region, and thus, can be conceived to be a deliberative space capable of expanding student mobility. This chapter examines the role of AUN in promoting student mobility within the ASEAN region. Indonesia’s engagement is used as a point of entry to assess the extent of policies and programs in encouraging student mobility in the ASEAN region. It shows that AUN has established regional quality assurance and credit transfer systems to promote credit student mobility across AUN member universities. In this regard, the implementation of Indonesian qualification framework has reinforced AUN in the operationalization of credit transfer system across the member universities. Similarly, the existing Indonesian quality assurance body has strengthened AUN in bridging collaborations for student mobility. Thus, the current state of credit student mobility across AUN member universities is shaped by not only by AUN but also Indonesian and higher education institutional policies and systems related to student mobility reflecting the various levels of players in the ASEAN region.
