Prof. Dra. Hj. Suwarsih Madya, M.A., Ph.D.
About Lecturer
Suwarsih Madya has been an English language teacher educator since 1977. Retiring from Yogyakarta State University (YSU) to end her service there for 45 years (1977-2022), she served as a Professor Emerita at the Master English Language Education, Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiwa, abbreviated as UST, at Yogyakarta, Indonesia. She did her MA at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, meeting her interests in curriculum development, educational technology, and language teacher development/education. She further met her interest in foreign language teacher development in her Ph.D. study also at Macquarie University, completing it in 1988. After finishing her doctoral study, she was involved in English language secondary curriculum development, the so-called Kurikulum 1994, and some other education development projects at the Ministry of Education and Culture, Jakarta. Simultaneously, she was also involved in a national primary school teacher development project under the World Bank’s auspices. Not long afterwards, she was involved in managing national/international cooperation affairs through structural/functional posts: Education and Culture Attache, Indonesian Embassy, Bangkok (1995-1999); Head, Bureau for Foreign Cooperation & PR, Ministry of National Education, Jakarta (2003-2005); Head, Office of Education, Yogyakarta Special Region (2008-2010); and Vice-Rector for Cooperation and Development, Yogyakarta State University (2012-2016). She has also learned a great deal from her involvement in professional organisations, both national and international: Member of Governing Board, UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg, Germany (2001-2004); Vice-President of TEFLIN (the Association for the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia) (2000-2003); President of TEFLIN (2003-2009); Indonesian Representative of AsiaTEFL (2004-2009); Asia TEFL Executive Council Member (2009-2012); member of Council Board of ICSEI (International Congress of School Effectiveness and Improvement) (2014-2017); AsiaTEFL Advisory Board Member (2017-2020); Asia TEFL Vice-President (2020-2022); Asia-TEFL President (2021-2022); and member of Founding Board of APRACSI (Asia Pacific Research Association on Curriculum Studies and Instruction) (since 2017) and Vice-President of APRACSI (2023-present). In this connection, she has chaired two big international conferences: the 6th AsiaTEFL International Conference in 2008 (with 1,068 participants from 34 countries), the 2014 ICSEI Conference (with more than 400 participants from 26 countries), and the 15th AsiaTEFL-64th TELIN International Conference in 2017 (with 1,120 participants from 33 countries). With this range of experiences in international cooperation, her view of language teaching has changed. She now has a multi-perspective view of language learning and teaching, relating them to other important matters such as character education, identity formation, and international and intercultural cooperation/collaboration/ communication. Her involvement in scout movement as Vice-Chair at the Provincial Headquarter has deepened her educational insights. By putting language teaching and education in a broader context, she attaches a much bigger meaning to language teaching and education. Her research interests are around language teacher education, character education, and instructional developments with emphasis on learning autonomy, intercultural language learning, and language learning assessment.
