Language proficiency is seen as what makes or breaks Indonesian lecturers in the global education and research industry.
Even though Indonesia has made achievements in terms of English writing skills in Southeast Asia, the country still faces problems when it comes to producing scientific papers of international standard.
So far, 5,421 scientific papers from Indonesia have been published in international journals in 2015, according to directorate general of research and development reinforcement, Muhammad Dimyati.
“This exceeds our target of 5,008 published papers,” he said.
