Di episode Teatime kali ini, Suwaibah Mataeha, mahasiswa IP Communications (IPC) 2019, akan berbagi pengalamannya selama menjadi mahasiswa internasional. Suwaibah atau biasa dipanggil Suwai, adalah seorang mahasiswa Komunikasi UII program internasional dari Yala, Thailand. Annisa Putri Jiany selaku pembawa acara ikut serta dalam diskusi Teatime pada episode kali ini yang bertema “Ngobrol Bersama Mahasiswa Internasional“.

Suwai sudah lama ingin belajar di luar negeri untuk menambah pengalaman. Ia mengaku mendapat informasi tentang beasiswa UII dari teman-temannya melalui Facebook. Suwai memanfaatkan kesempatan tersebut dan bersama teman-temannya mencoba melamar beasiswa di UII. Alasan dia memilih jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi bukan hanya karena dia menyukainya, tapi juga karena ingin lebih mahir dan percaya diri dalam mempraktikkan kegiatan komunikasi di depan umum.

Menjadi mahasiswa internasional tentunya membutuhkan kemampuan beradaptasi dengan lingkungan baru. Senada, Suwai mengaku saat pertama kali di UII sempat sedikit kesulitan dengan kemampuan bahasanya. Namun, motivasi belajar dan keinginan kuat untuk menguasai bahasa membuatnya bersemangat. Keinginannya untuk menambah keterampilan dan pengetahuan baru adalah tujuan awalnya sebagai mahasiswa. Inilah yang selalu dia ingat saat melewati masa-masa sulit.

Dosen dan karyawan yang sangat dekat dengan mahasiswa membuat Suwai merasa senang dan aman selama menempuh pendidikan di Jurusan Komunikasi UII. Dia juga mengatakan bahwa dia tidak menemui masalah apapun selama di kelas. Menurutnya, sistem pembelajaran di UII tidak jauh berbeda dengan sistem di negaranya.

Hal yang membedakan adalah tentang cara berbusana. Pelajar di Thailand memiliki aturan untuk memakai seragam hitam putih. Sedangkan di Indonesia, khususnya di UII, mahasiswa tidak diwajibkan berseragam.

Kendala Mahasiswa Internasional: Adaptasi dan Bahasa

Mengenai kendala bahasa yang sering dialami oleh mahasiswa internasional di UII, pihak kampus menyediakan fasilitas untuk membantu permasalahan tersebut. Fasilitas yang disediakan kampus bagi mahasiswa internasional adalah mahasiswa mendapatkan bantuan belajar bahasa melalui program BIPA. BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Orang Asing) merupakan program prasyarat yang dilaksanakan di CILACS (Pusat Kajian Bahasa dan Budaya Internasional) UII.

Suwai mengatakan dalam program ini mahasiswa akan diajarkan bahasa Indonesia dari dasar hingga mahir. Selain itu kampus juga memberikan fasilitas berupa bantuan sembako pada saat pandemi. Sehingga pelajar khususnya pelajar internasional tidak kesulitan tinggal di Jogja saat pandemi.

Ketika ditanya tentang hal-hal baru yang dipelajarinya selama belajar di Jogja, Suwai menjawab bahwa ia pernah mencoba beberapa makanan khas Jogja seperti Gudeg. Menurutnya makanan Indonesia yang memiliki kemiripan dengan makanan di Thailand adalah seblak, karena rasanya yang pedas dan asin. Ia juga pernah mencoba menonton beberapa film horor buatan Indonesia. Suwai menilai film horor Indonesia lebih seram dibanding film horor buatan Thailand.

Meski baru memasuki semester 3, Suwai mengaku mendapatkan manfaat dari ilmu yang didapat selama kuliah di IPC. Seperti Mata Kuliah Fotografi dan Public Speaking yang dia praktikkan saat di Thailand. Sebagai penutup, Suwai menyampaikan kesan yang didapatnya di IPC, bahwa IPC memiliki dosen yang ramah dan lingkungan yang baik. Ia berpesan, “Jangan takut mencoba, karena semua hal bisa dipelajari. Tidak apa-apa membuat kesalahan. Jadi, tetaplah percaya diri meskipun Anda belum bisa berbicara bahasanya. Karena semua yang ada di IPC menarik.”

In this episode of Teatime, Suwaibah Mataeha, a 2019 IP Communications (IPC) student, will share her experiences while being an international student. She is student of Communication Science Department of Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). Suwaibah or Suwai (her nickname), is an international student from Yala, Thailand. Annisa Putri Jiany as the host joined Teatime’s discussion on this episode with the theme “Chit Chatting with International Students.”

Suwai has long wanted to study abroad to gain more experience. Suwai said that she got information about UII scholarships from friends via Facebook. Suwai took the opportunity and together with her friends tried to apply for a scholarship at UII. The reason she chose the Communication Science major was not only because she liked it, but also because she wanted to be more proficient and confident in practicing communication activities in public.

Being an international student certainly requires the ability to adapt to new environments. Likewise, Suwai admitted when the first time in UII she had a little difficulty with her language skills. However, the motivation to learn and a strong desire to master the language keeps her excited. Her desire to add new skills and knowledge was his initial goal as a student. This is what she always remembers when going through difficult times.

Lecturers and staff who are very close to students make Suwai feel happy and safe while studying at the International Program of Communication Science Department (IPC) at UII. She also said that she did not encounter any problems during class. According to her, the learning system at UII is not much different from the system in her country. The thing that distinguishes is about how to dress. Students in Thailand have a rule to wear black and white uniforms. Meanwhile in Indonesia, especially at UII, students are not required to wear uniforms.

Regarding the language barrier that is often experienced by international students at UII, the campus provides facilities to help this problem. The facilities provided by the campus for international students are that students receive language learning assistance through the BIPA program. BIPA (Indonesian Language for Foreigners) is a prerequisite program implemented at CILACS (Center for International Language and Culture Studies) UII.

Suwai said that in this program students will be taught Indonesian from basic to advanced. Besides, the campus also provides facilities in the form of basic food assistance during the pandemic. So that students, especially international students, have no difficulty living in Jogja during the pandemic.

When she was asked about the new things she had learned while studying in Jogja, Suwai replied that she had tried some typical Jogja foods such as Gudeg. According to her, Indonesian food which has similarities with food in Thailand is seblak, because of its spicy and salty taste. She has also tried watching several horror films made in Indonesia. Suwai argues that Indonesian horror films are scarier than horror films made in Thailand.

Even though she has just entered the 3rd semester, Suwai admits that she has benefited from the knowledge she got while studying at IPC. Like the Photography and Public Speaking courses that she practiced when in Thailand. In closing, Suwai conveyed the impression she got in IPC, that IPC had a friendly lecturers and kind environment. She advised, “Don’t be afraid to try, because all things can be learned. It is okay to make mistakes. So, be confident even though you can’t speak the language yet. Because everything in the IPC is exciting.”

Mengapa melacak sejarah humas itu penting? Di negara lain, sejarah humas hanya berkonteks negara masing-masing. Studi ini peminatnya banyak, buku ajar banyak ditulis, tetapi persoalan sejarah humas tak banyak. Maka saatnya kini Melacak Sejarah Public Relations di Indonesia di Forum AES.

“Beberapa buku memang sudah menulis deskripsi sejarah public relation/ PR di Indonesia, tetapi miskin konteks sosial, politik, dan budaya,” kata I Gusti Ngurah Putra, Akademisi dari Departemen Ilmu Komunikasi UGM, sebagai pembicara pada Sabtu (22/8) di Forum Amir Effendi Siregar (AES) yang disiarkan langsung Channel Uniicoms TV.

Buku-buku dari negara lain sudah membahas sejarah sesuai konteks negaranya. Misalnya, Ngurah mennyontohkan buku The Unseen Power, Public Relation: A history. Scott M. Cutlip menulis itu sampai setebal 832 halaman soal sejarah PR. Jacquie L’Etang juga menulis sejarah PR di Inggris dalam buku berjudul Public Relations in Britain.

Sedangkan di Indonesia, sejarah PR masih belum digarap serius. Menurut Ngurah, jika penulisan sejarah humas tidak dimulai, ada ketakutan sulit mengakses data dan informan.

“Informan ahli dari kalangan pelaku awal atau perintis awal humas di Indonesia tinggal sedikit. Tantangan lain adalah dokumen terkait praktek humas dan gagasan yang berkembang tidak mudah untuk diperoleh,” jelas Ngurah.

Ia memberi penanda soal siapa yang bisa dijadikan peletak awal PR di Indonesia dalam sejarah. Misalnya Prof. Alwi dahlan yang mendirikan konsultan humas di Indonesia, “lalu ada Wicaksono Noeradi, praktisi humas yang pernah sekolah di School of Journalism di Negeri Abang Sam. Lalu Amiruddin, humas PT. Astra,” imbuhnya.

Bagaimana Humas di Indonesia Mula-mula

Dalam sejarahnya, humas masa kemerdekaan dan era Soekarno lebih banyak diarahkan pada membangun semangat baru sebagai sebuah bangsa yang baru. Menurut Ngurah, PR Indonesia di awal republik ni berdiri, dijalani sebagai public diplomacy dan hubungan internasional, kata Ngurah yang menyelesaikan studi Master-nya dan mengkaji PR Indonesia di University of Canberra, Australia.

Tak hanya itu. Perusahaan minyak asing di awal tahun 1950-an seperti STANVAC, Shell, Caltex, BTM ke Indonesia sering dianggap sebagai awal munculnya Corporate PR di Indonesia, katanya. Pada saat yang hampir bersamaan, beberapa perusahaan atau lembaga negara seperti Kepolisian, RRI dan Garuda Indonesia juga mulai memiliki bagian Humas.

Di tahun 60-an, Tahun inilah yang menjadi cikal bakal berkembangnya PR di Indonesia. Istilah “purel” sebagai akronim PR makin populer daripada istilah “humas”. Lalu pada 1962, presidium Kabinet PM Juanda menginstruksikan agar setiap instansi membentuk divisi humas.

Perkembangan selanjutnya, kata Ngurah, pada era orde baru, lembaga pemerintah mulai memeiliki bagian humas. Departemen Penerangan/ Deppen juga menjalankan fungsi kehumasan untuk pemerintah.

Why is tracking the history of public relations important? In other countries, the history of public relations only has the context of each country. This study has a lot of enthusiasts. Its also many writers write textbooks, but there are not many issues in the history of public relations.

“Some books have written descriptions of the history of public relations / PR in Indonesia. The problems are they lack social, political and cultural contexts,” said I Gusti Ngurah Putra. Ngurah is a scholar from the UGM Department of Communication Sciences. He speak on Saturday (22/8) at the Forum Amir Effendi Siregar (AES) which was broadcast live on the Uniicoms TV Channel.

Books and Reference of History of PR                                                 

Books from other countries have discussed history according to the context of their country. For example, Ngurah cited the book entitled The Unseen Power, Public Relations: A history. Scott M. Cutlip wrote it up to 832 pages in thickness about the history of PR. Jacquie L’Etang also wrote the history of public relations in England in a book entitled Public Relations in Britain.

Meanwhile,  the history of PR in Indonesia is still not seriously worked on. According to Ngurah, if the writing of public relations history does not start, there is a fear that it will be difficult to access data and informants.

“There are only a few expert informants from the early actors or public relations pioneers in Indonesia. Another challenge is that documents related to PR practices and developing ideas are not easy to obtain,” explained Ngurah.

He gave a marker about who could be the starting point of indonensian PR in history. For example Prof. Alwi Dahlan, who founded a public relations consultant in Indonesia, “then there is Wicaksono Noeradi, a public relations practitioner who attended the School of Journalism in the United State. Then Amiruddin, PR of PT. Astra,” he added.

How Public Relations in Indonesia Early

In its history, public relations during the independence and Soekarno era were more focused in particular issues. Soekarno focused on building a new spirit as a new nation. According to Ngurah, public diplomacy is Indonesian PR focus at the beginning of the republic. It also focus on international relations, said Ngurah. Ngurah completed his Masters study and studied Indonesian PR at the University of Canberra, Australia.

Not only that. “Foreign oil companies in the early 1950s such as STANVAC, Shell, Caltex, BTM to Indonesia are often seen as the beginning of the emergence of Corporate PR in Indonesia,” he said. At about the same time, several companies or state institutions such as the Police, RRI and Garuda Indonesia also started having a Public Relations section.

In the 60s, this year was the forerunner to the development of PR in Indonesia. The term “purel” as an acronym for PR is getting more and more popular than the term “public relations”. Then in 1962, PM Juanda’s Cabinet presidium instructed each agency to form a public relations division.

Further developments, said Ngurah, during the New Order era, government agencies began to have a public relations department. The Ministry of Information / Deppen also performs a public relations function for the government.

Teatime episode ke 7 pada tanggal 14 Agustus 2020 yang mengangkat tema “Obrolan Menjadi Mahasiswa IPC” menghadirkan M. Aditya Arvian dari IP Communication (IPC) UII (Universitas Islam Indonesia) angkatan 2018. Melalui acara yang disiarkan lewat Live Instagram ini, Muthia B. Maharani, selaku tuan rumah, mendampingi diskusi dan berbagi dalam tentang mahasiswa IPC.

Hal yang sering ditanyakan tentang kelas IPC adalah perbedaannya dengan kelas komunikasi biasa. Menjawab pertanyaan itu, Adit dan Muthia menjelaskan sebagai mahasiswa IP, tugas dan ujian diberikan dalam bahasa Inggris dengan mengikuti regulasi internasional. Selain itu, mahasiswa IP dipersiapkan untuk menghadapi lingkungan internasional. Sehingga pelajaran yang diajarkan di kelas mengikuti standar internasional. Kapasitas kelas dan siswa yang disediakan juga lebih sedikit dibandingkan kelas reguler. Kelas yang lebih kecil ini memberikan keuntungan bagi mahasiswa IP untuk lebih dekat dengan dosen dan karyawan.

“Kami memiliki waktu yang akrab dengan dosen kami dan staf lainnya. Karena fasilitas yang kami dapatkan berbeda dengan yang biasa.”kata Adit.

Tidak hanya belajar di kelas, mahasiswa IPC juga mendapatkan pembelajaran melalui pengalaman langsung. Salah satu pengalaman unik yang bisa didapatkan di kelas IPC adalah melalui program P2A (Passage to Asean). Program ini merupakan salah satu program wajib dimana mahasiswa IPC diwajibkan mengikuti program ini minimal satu kali. Melalui program ini mahasiswa IPC bisa mendapatkan pengalaman langsung dengan orang internasional, berteman dengan orang di negara lain, dan belajar tentang budaya yang berbeda. Selain itu IPC Mahasiswa juga memiliki kebebasan untuk mengikuti organisasi dan acara yang diadakan di kampus maupun di luar kampus seperti halnya mahasiswa pada umumnya.

“Kita harus berbaur dengan orang dari beragam latar belakang. Bukan berarti karena kita mahasiswa internasional, kita tidak bisa berteman dengan orang lain. Bukan berarti seperti itu. Kita tetap berteman dengan jurusan dan negara yang berbeda,” ujarnya.

Semangat Menjadi Mahasiswa IPC UII

Untuk tahun pertama, mahasiswa IPC akan mendapatkan Bridging Program yang akan memudahkan mereka beradaptasi di dalam kelas. Untuk masuk kelas IPC mahasiswa baru tidak harus pandai berbahasa Inggris. Karena melalui Bridging Program tahun pertama, mahasiswa akan diajarkan tentang public speaking yang akan membantu mereka. Program ini juga akan membantu pembentukan karakter mahasiswa. Adit mengatakan, melalui kelas IPC setiap orang berhak mendapatkan kesempatan untuk belajar. Mereka akan mempelajari prosesnya bersama dengan berlatih bahasa Inggris secara langsung.

“Mengapa mereka harus memilih IPC?” tanya Muthia. Adit menjelaskan, di kelas IPC mahasiswa akan mendapatkan pengalaman unik yang tidak didapat di kampus lain. Seperti program P2A, workshop internasional, dan program lain yang disediakan untuk mahasiswa. Banyak hal menyenangkan yang bisa didapat dengan mengikuti kelas IPC. Karena kapasitas kelas yang kecil, hubungan emosional antar mahasiswa di dalamnya menjadi lebih dekat. Absennya senioritas juga menambah suasana akrab antara senior dan junior, maupun mahasiswa dan dosen.

Terkait tugas, sebagai mahasiswa IP, penugasannya cukup berbeda dengan kelas reguler. Mereka harus berbicara dengan fenomena internasional dan mengacu pada jurnal internasional. Meski berat, mereka punya fasilitas yang bisa menunjang. Dan di IPC mereka membangun ikatan emosional mereka dengan saling membantu satu sama lain ketika kesulitan dalam beragam hal. Misal kesulitan berbahasa, membaca teks asing, dan kesulitan akademik lainnya.

The 7th episode of Teatime on August 14, 2020, with the theme “Chit Chat About Being IPC Students” presented M. Aditya Arvian from IP Communication (IPC) UII (Universitas Islam Indonesia) batch 2018. At this Teatime, Muthia B. Maharani as the host accompanied the discussion and sharing in today’s topic about IPC students.

The thing that is often asked about the IPC class is the differences with the regular communication class. Answering that question, Adit and Muthia explained as IP students, assignments and exams were given in English by following international regulation. Besides, IP students are prepared to face the international environment. So that the lessons taught in the class follow international standards. The class and student capacity provided are also less than regular classes. This smaller class provides the advantage for IP students to be closer to the lecturers and staff.

“We have an intimate time with our lecturer and other staff. Because of the facility we got different from the regular one. For example, in the Prodi we can make coffee, that’s become one of the benefits for me. And that is the facility that we mentioned before,” said Adit.

Not only learning in class, but IPC students also get learning through direct experience. One of the unique experiences that can be obtained in IPC classes is through the P2A program. This program is one of the compulsory programs where IPC students are obliged to attend this program at least once. Through this program, IPC students can get direct experience with international people, make friends with people in another country, and learn about different cultures. Besides, IPC students also have the freedom to join organizations and events held on campus and outside campus like students in general.

“We have to blend in with people. It doesn’t mean because we are international students, we cannot make a friend with others. It’s doesn’t mean like that. Because we are still being friends with different major and country” he said.

The Excitement of Being an IPC UII Student

For the first year, IPC students will get a Bridging Program that will make them easier to adapt in the classroom. To enter IPC classes new students do not have to be good at English. Because through the Bridging Program first-year students will be taught about public speaking which will help them. This program will also help form the student character. Adit said, that through IPC classes everyone deserves the opportunity to learn. They will learn the process together by practicing English directly.

“Why they must choose the IPC?” asked Muthia. Adit explained that in the IPC class, students will get unique experiences that will not be obtained on another campus. Such as the P2A program, international workshops, and other programs provided for students. Many fun things can be obtained by joining IPC classes. Due to the small class capacity, the sense of relationship in it becomes more obvious. The absence of seniority also adds to the familiar atmosphere between seniors and juniors, nor students and lecturers.

Related to Adit statement, as the IP students, the assignment is quite different from the regular class. They have to talk to international phenomenon and refer to international journals. Even though it is heavy, they have facilities that can support. And in IPC they build their chemistry with help each other.
