Abstract

English Language Teaching Program at UNP is trying to improve its curriculum in order to get certification from AUN-QA (ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance). One requirement needed is getting feedback from Alumni on some criteria set by AUN-QA. This study aimed to find the alumni’s perception on Expected Learning Outcomes of English Language Teaching Program at UNP and to find what improvement needed based on the alumni’s perception. The data were collected through an online questionnaire given to 74 alumni who were divided into two groups: the alumni who work in education field (46 participants) and the ones who work in non-education field (28 participants). The questionnaire given consists of 29 items. The data were analyzed by finding the mean scores for each item. Then, the mean scores were converted into degree of perception. As the results, the mean scores got were 3.58 for vision, missions, and profile of the alumni; 3.66 for purposes of the program; and 3.60 for expected learning outcomes. Even though there are few comments given by the alumni who gave negative responses, most of them have very good perception on English Language Curriculum at UNP. From the finding, it can be concluded that there is slight improvement needed based on the alumni’s perception.

Key words: ELT Curriculum, AUN-QA, Alumni’s Perception
