Page 5 - English for Executive Administrative Assistant

n
Preface

Competition among job seekers is fierce and is not getting any less over time. Companies do not merely
inquire about the excellencies in the study performance of their candidates. However, as envisioning
beyond a seemingly high GPA, they rather seek candidates whose actual competency to perform
excellently in a particular job field is guaranteed. One such guarantee is showcased through the
Competency Test and Certification held by BNSP (Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi), a national scale
certification to ensure the authenticity of work field performance of its respective certificate holder. As
to answer the demand, this module is thus initiated.
This module is used along with the conduction of an ESP class at LTC with the objective of providing
comprehensive training on the application of English in the specific profession of Executive Administrative
Assistance. To acquire excellent competencies trained in the module i.e., Intermediate Communication
Strategy, Writing Summaries and Reports, Post-intermediate Business Correspondence, Negotiation Skills,
and Public Relations, learners taking the course are pre-required to have taken Public Speaking classes at
LTC. Upon the completion of the course, learners would gain skills and strategies to succeed in the
national-scale Competency Test and Certification of English for Executive Administrative Assistance held
by BNSP (Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi).

Lastly, the team would have never begun the endeavor of completing this module without the authority
and supervision of the Language Training Centre (LTC) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. It’s
been a great honor and a valuable learning process for us, and for that, we highly appreciate the kind
opportunity given. The team would also give great acknowledgment to all scholars, websites, and other
contributors whose works are cited and adapted during the completion of the module. Without the
stimulus of these materials, this module will have never been completed.
