Who am I?

My name is Ratna Rintaningrum. I am a lecturer at the Institute of Technology Sepuluh (ITS) Nopember, Surabaya. I have completed my Master and Doctoral degrees from Flinders University, South Australia. My expertise does not only focus on teaching and learning English as a foreign language, but I also have interest in academic achievement, English proficiency, testing and measurement, advanced statistical modelling, quantitative data analysis as well as qualitative data analysis. Moreover, I have interest in leadership and organization.

I was born in a town, namely, Trenggalek. It is part of East Java province. It usually takes four hours by car from Surabaya, but since the traffic is very crowd, it can take five up to six hours to arrive in Trenggalek. Trenggalek has population less than 1 million. It is popular with agriculture and farming. However, when time changes, people have a variety of occupation such as teacher, lecturer, doctor, nurse, government officer, and banker. Trenggalek is rich with some tourist sites, namely, beaches, such as Prigi, Karang Gongso, and Pelang. It is also popular with some traditional food such as sesame seed balls (geti), soy crackers (kripik tempe), cassava crackers (kripik telo) and many more.

My parents were school principals. My father worked at a senior high school, while my mother worked at a primary school. My father passed away a year ago. I am the only daughter that my parents have. I have three brothers. I am the second child in my big family. My two brothers work independently, while my little brother is an army.

I am married. My husband is a pharmacist. I have two boys. My oldest son is going to high school, namely SMU 5. He is in Year 1. My youngest son is going to primary school. He is in Year 4. My sons can speak English better than me. They had been seven years in Australia.

They grow up in Australia. As we go back to Indonesia, my sons have to learn to speak, listen, write and read in Bahasa Indonesia. I and my husband help them to cope with some difficulties.

I want to be a professional lecturer and researcher. It is my awareness that a lecturer has to be able to teach well. That’s why quality of instruction must be improved. I continuously improve my quality by reading some textbooks and international journals as well as writing papers and international journals. I believe that my students can be my good friends. Through my belief, I continuously help them to improve their performance in English and their academic achievement. I am approachable. With my abilities to play with some advanced statistical modelling, being a professional researcher is my dream.
