\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana (UKDW) Yogyakarta recently hosted the Indonesian Extensive Reading Association (IERA) Roadshow on November 5, 2024. The event, held at the Koinonia Auditorium, included a seminar and a mini-workshop focused on extensive reading and project-based learning (PBL), attended by English teachers and librarians from Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The Roadshow continued the following day at Universitas Sanata Dharma.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In his opening remarks, UKDW Rector Dr.-Ing. Wiyatiningsih, S.T., M.T. highlighted the crucial role of extensive reading and libraries in enhancing the learning process. \u201cWe hope this event inspires us all to create more effective and impactful learning environments,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The keynote speaker, Dr. Loh Chin Ee, an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature and Associate Dean for Partnerships at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, introduced the theme “Connecting Libraries with Classrooms through Project-Based Learning.” Dr. Loh emphasized that libraries should not only serve as information centers but also as dynamic learning spaces that support PBL and inspire student engagement with reading.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Dr. Loh stressed the importance of integrating libraries with classroom learning to improve reading comprehension. She identified three key components for success: libraries as learning environments, creative ideas for PBL, and the integration of extensive reading materials. \u201cLibraries can be transformed into active, supportive spaces for learning when they are designed to be comfortable and aligned with students’ developmental needs,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0For PBL in libraries, Dr. Loh outlined several essential elements: authentic materials, student-centered learning, collaboration among students, and skilled librarian support. \u201cWhen libraries are well-designed, they can actively contribute to the learning process and enhance students\u2019 literacy skills,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Uswatun Hasanah, M.IP., Secretary of the Indonesian School Library Association, shared strategies for encouraging students to engage with libraries, while Martini, M.Hum., a teacher from SMAN 1 Sedayu, discussed how teachers can collaborate with librarians in PBL to enhance the learning experience.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Additionally, Ignatius Tri Endarto, S.Pd., M.A., Head of the English Education Department at UKDW, addressed the growing impact of digital distractions, such as smartphones and social media, which have led to reduced reading habits among students. \u201cStudies show a decline in the time students dedicate to reading, both for pleasure and academics,\u201d he said. \u201cIn education, it\u2019s crucial for us to understand why reading is so essential for students\u2019 development.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The seminar and workshop aimed to explore the power of extensive reading as a tool for language acquisition and literacy development and its application in project-based learning. \u201cThis event will be a valuable learning experience for all of us,\u201d concluded Endarto. \u201cLet\u2019s embrace the power of extensive reading and commit to being lifelong learners and educators.\u201d [humasukdw\/trans.drr]<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-50px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/UKDW-Hosts-IERA-Roadshow-Linking-Libraries-and-Classrooms-Through-Project-Based-Learning-1.jpg” title_text=”UKDW Hosts IERA Roadshow, Linking Libraries and Classrooms Through Project-Based Learning-1″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/UKDW-Hosts-IERA-Roadshow-Linking-Libraries-and-Classrooms-Through-Project-Based-Learning-2.jpg” title_text=”UKDW Hosts IERA Roadshow, Linking Libraries … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":4510,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berita"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4507"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4515,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4507\/revisions\/4515"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukdw.ac.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
