Mataram, University of Mataram – UPA Bahasa University of Mataram (Pubah Unram) announced a new initiative for 2024, namely TUTOR’S TELL. The second TUTOR’S TELL agenda was held last Thursday (1/2) in the Tutor Room of Pubah Unram.

TUTOR’S TELL is a monthly agenda designed as a forum for language tutors in Pubah Unram to share experiences related to the use of technology, improvement of teaching methods, and other important information. In addition to being a forum for information sharing, TUTOR’S TELL aims to continue to encourage tutors to improve their skills and utilise relevant technological developments in language teaching.

On this occasion there were 4 tutors, namely Ms Selma, Mr Yudha, Mr Mustofa, and Mr Anugerah who presented about English applications that can be used to help students understand and improve English skills.

Ms Selma introduced Cathoven (an AI app that focuses on reading), TalkPal (an AI app that offers a learning experience with a realistic voice as if talking to a native), and WordHippo (a dictionary). Mr Yudha presented on phonological awareness and soundbeginning, discussing their relevance to the ability to recognise words and sound formation, and how they affect individuals exposed to English.

After that, Mr Mustofa invited the tutors to play English games using Kahoot.it. Finally, Mr Anugerah introduced the Diffit application which can be used to improve reading skills.

The TUTOR’S TELL session proved informative and engaging, reflecting Pubah Unram’s commitment to developing the quality of language teaching so as to provide a better learning experience for students. Stay tuned for further updates on other exciting initiatives and activities from Pubah Unram.
