“…However, this study found a lack of English instruction offered to the students. This finding supported those of Burgos and Pérez (2015), Nduwimana (2019), and Silalahi (2017), that despite the students' awareness of their need for more English instruction than what is offered by their educational institutions, the exposure to English that they have got during their learning process is considered not sufficient enough to make them qualified in English. This is really the case in this research context since in most universities and colleges in Indonesia, English subject is taught only as a general subject weighted two or four credits with no follow up as specified in the curriculum.…”

“…In addition, to ensure success in Industry 5.0, this study found that effective cooperation between education institutions and the world of industry is fundamental as suggested in a plethora of studies in various fields Mbato & Kharismawan, 2018;Silalahi, 2017;Wichmann et al, 2019;Yosintha & Arochman, 2020). Students should be equipped with the competencies instrumental in Industry 5.0, not only competencies specific to their field but also those required for successful employment in general.…”

“…In junior high school level, many students showed poor performance in English class in terms of their vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar (Desmaliza & Septiani, 2018). Even worse, Silalahi (2017) found that even after more than six years of learning English at school and two semesters of English enrichment program, many graduates of one of the universities in Indonesia (909 out of 944) failed to show an adequate English proficiency as proved by their low TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score.…”

“…Previous studies have identified several factors that might impede the success of English language teaching and learning in Indonesia, including self-esteem, confidence, motivation, attitude, teachers' competency, class size, facilities, etc. Silalahi, 2017;Sulistiyo, 2016). Sulistiyo (2016) mentioned students' motivation and background traits as crucial factors affecting the results of English instructions.…”

The main objective of this study was to identify the attitudes of Indonesian students towards studying English vis-a-vis their readiness to compete in the fifth industrial revolution era. The data obtained from a four-point scale questionnaire administered to 216 participants from 12 universities across Indonesia were analyzed through a descriptive case study procedure. The findings showed that even though most students had positive attitudes towards EFL learning ( = 3.29) as well as towards Industry 5.0 ( = 3), they did not have the confidence to affirm that they have the instrumental competencies required by the tight competition of Industry 5.0, especially English competencies ( = 2.37). These findings indicate that despite their positive attitudes towards EFL learning, Indonesian students would be possibly not yet ready for Industry 5.0 in terms of their English proficiency. Therefore, it is suggested that policymakers and all education stakeholders take the necessary measures to improve the students’ English skills to ensure that they will be graduates who match the demands of Industry 5.0.

Foreign Investment plays an essential role in both developed and developing countries. The flow of Foreign Investment to developing countries has experienced significant developments in the last 15 years, including Indonesia. Indonesia establishes details of business fields that are open to foreign capital in the order of priority and determines the conditions that must be fulfilled by Foreign Investors in every business. Therefore, the main problems to be examined in this study are: how is the procedure for establishing a Foreign Investment Company within the framework of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)?, why is there a need for legal certainty in the foreign investment activities of the tourism sector within the framework of the ASEAN Economic Community?, then what is the process of resolving the Foreign Investment disputes in the tourism sector in North Sumatra in facing the ASEAN Economic Community? The research method used in this dissertation research is normative legal research (normative juridical) with the consideration that the focus of research is to study primary,secondary, and tertiary legal materials related to legal certainty issues for investors who invest their capitals in Indonesia. The normative legal characteristics in this study are also seen from the research objectives which are basically to generate concepts, principles, doctrines that underlie the laws and regulations governing legal certainty for investors who invest their capital in Indonesia. The characteristics will be then developed to obtain clues,inputs, or suggestions on things that must be done to overcome problems of unavailability of investors to invest in Indonesia. The normative research output is expected to contribute to the improvement of existing laws and regulations, especially those relate to the provisions of the ASEAN Economic Community. The results of the dissertation study prove that: firstly, the provisions on Foreign Investment in the tourism sector within the framework of the ASEAN Economic Community have not referred to regional provisions in the framework of the AEC. Secondly, the Foreign Investment Activities of the tourism sector in the face of the ASEAN Economic Community has not shown any legal certainty. It is because the provisions governing foreign investment in the tourism sector in Indonesia are constantly changing, as in the case with law enforcement efforts in the judge's decision to ignore the arbitration decision for reasons of public order. Thirdly, the foreign investment dispute resolution process in the tourism sector in North Sumatra within the framework of the ASEAN Economic Community refers to the choice of law for the parties. On all occasions, the parties choose the dispute resolution process by selecting arbitration after the deliberations have not been achieved. Based on these conclusions, the recommendations are made aligned with the Law Number 25 Year 2007 concerning Investment that needs to be regulated in its article regarding the provisions of Foreign Investment within the framewo...
