Many university students want to learn English not only to meet foreigners but also to study abroad one day and continue their postgraduate studies. One of the main universities in the city and the entire province of West Sumatra is the University in Padang where the Faculty of Humanities has the Department of English for university students.
During this time as an English consultant, I have been able to help undergraduate students develop their speaking and listening skills to be used in daily life conversation and practicing for IELTS. This is to enable the students to build trust and self-confidence in speaking to their peers and also to foreigners directly. It has been amazing to see their enthusiasm and improvements in a short time. This not only opens doors for the future but also helps them to be brave when encountering new experiences. 

Another activity- which is part of the English Department- was to visit a senior high school with the purpose of motivating them and showing them the importance of English in and out of the country. This has been a unique experience and opportunity for the students to connect directly with a foreign person which brings a different perspective to just simply learning a new language.
