SDG 17
PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS
|
||
| Multi-stakeholder partnerships 17.16 Enhance the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, complemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology and financial resources, to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in all countries, in particular developing countries |
17.16.1 Number of countries reporting progress in multi-stakeholder development effectiveness monitoring frameworks that support the achievement of the sustainable development goals | This academic service program promotes the shared mission of the college and the partner school to develop students' learning potential and develop their skills. This is to enhance understanding and testing of CEFR English language levels to create opportunities for students to receive quality education consistent with global standards. |
English language proficiency is not only a beneficial skill but also a fundamental requirement for academic and professional success, especially in urban areas like Bangkok, Thailand. However, access to quality educational resources, particularly in assessing English language proficiency, is sometimes limited. This limitation, especially in the standardized CEFR (Common European Framework of References) level, leads to some students missing the opportunity to be tested and develop their English language skills.
Realizing the significance of addressing this language proficiency gap, the International College for Sustainable Studies at Srinakharinwirot University has organized an academic service program to enhance understanding of the CEFR English language testing. The program aims to provide students with knowledge about the testing system and their current proficiency level. This testing program can effectively contribute to the development of students' English language skills.
Enhanced English Language Proficiency: The program's implementation will likely result in improved English language proficiency among the participating students. This, in turn, can enhance their communication abilities, both academically and professionally, thereby increasing their competitiveness in the global job market.
Increased Access to Quality Education: By providing students with a better understanding of the CEFR English language testing standards, the project can potentially expand access to quality education. Students who previously lacked access to standardized testing may now have more opportunities to pursue higher education or professional development.
Empowered Decision-Making: Equipping students with knowledge about their current language proficiency level enables them to make informed decisions about their educational and career paths. This empowerment can lead to more confident decision-making and potentially better outcomes in their academic and professional pursuits.
Educational and Professional Advancement: Through the development of language skills and the understanding of international testing standards, students may have greater prospects for further educational and professional advancement, both locally and internationally. This can contribute to their personal growth and societal development in the long run.
