Mrs. Nuning Sri Wilujeng, as the Head of U2IK of the Faculty of Languages and Arts (FBS) revealed, "Margaret’s class was very interesting and full of jokes, unfortunately I could not attend it fully because I was required to follow Jenise’s class, who was more serious as it discussed academic writing. However, in general, all participants were very satisfied with the given instruction. "

Lastly, Jenise and Margaret were also given the opportunity to give testimony related to the workshops. "I really applaud the participants, because it is certainly not easy to learn English, considering most of them have not so long studied it, so they must recall the English words they used to be familiar" said Margaret.
