The course “Internship and Graduation” is designed to enable students to apply the knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes accumulated throughout the English Language program to real-world professional settings.

Moreover, this course aims to foster students’ sense of professionalism, responsibility, ethical awareness, and lifelong learning orientation. For students who choose the “Graduation Thesis” option, the objective is to cultivate research competence, logical reasoning, and the ability to present research findings in English according to international academic standards.

6. Brief Description of Course Content:

The “Internship and Graduation” course is a compulsory capstone module in the final semester of the Bachelor of Arts in English Language program, serving as a bridge between academic learning and professional practice. It enables students to comprehensively apply their acquired linguistic, cultural, and professional knowledge to real-world working environments in domestic or international organizations and enterprises. Students are required to complete assigned professional tasks, maintain an internship logbook, submit a final report, and present their outcomes before an evaluation panel.

This course is closely linked with other major courses such as English for Business, English for Tourism and Hospitality, Translation and Interpreting for Business, and Public Speaking, as it allows students to apply the linguistic, translation, and professional communication skills acquired in these courses to authentic professional contexts.
