Engaging students, empowering teachers:
Toward quality education​

Achieving quality education in the context of English language teaching and learning through student engagement and teacher empowerment has always been an aspiration of the Department of English, Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), Indonesia. It is the goal that underlies the ways the teaching and learning process within the department is carried out as well as underlines the Department’s vision in conducting teacher training and education. Engaging the students is by no means a simple task. It involves teachers’ and students’ being innovative, reflective, experimental, and encouraging so that the teaching and learning process can be motivating, engaging, and effective. It also emphasizes the needs for teachers to continuously seek ways to empower themselves in keeping up with the development in the field and globally changing world, so that they can facilitate learning opportunities for students of diverse backgrounds using various available tools, from print to digital resources, and from classrooms to out-of-class environments.
