As one of the graduate students in the PhD program in Applied Linguistics at Atma Jaya University of Indonesia, I have acquired various skills and information that enable me to appreciate the relationship between language and the actual world. The program has provided me with a comprehensive theoretical foundation in applied linguistics and research experiences in analysing the essence of language and language learning, how language is used to create our sociocultural environments, and how, in diverse learning settings, we gain knowledge to use language and understand the world through language. The advisors and specialists have always constantly accessible and are willing to offer comprehensive comments. I strongly suggest this program to any enthusiastic applied linguists.
Walking into the Ph.D program at Applied
English Linguistics, Atma Jaya has brought me to an insightful series of
lectures, readings, and research which sculpted my ability to discover facts
through scientific research. The process has shaped my interest in
intercultural communication which later became the point of departure to grow
as professional. Most importantly, with
the trust, guidance, and one-to-one advising throughout dissertation writing,
I've had the chance to see the relevance of teaching the English language and
culture with identity. The specialists
and advisors are also my source of encouragement until today to put the
findings into practice and to expand the research towards further discovery as
a professional. Their unending support helped me to realize that concluding
findings in my dissertation, should not conclude the aspiration to seek
innovation in the English language and culture. Shall you search for a learning
community to advance applied English linguistic knowledge and skill, Doctoral
in English Applied Linguistics Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia will
be the best one.

Additionally, the program facilitates the students to have active participation in academic forums, both locally and internationally. Furthermore, while the program highlighted the importance of adapting teaching strategies to meet the evolving needs of learners in a dynamic and globalized world, it also instilled in us the critical need to preserve and respect students' first languages.
