The focus of this training activity is the mastery of spoken English, correspondence, and TOEFL to support the role of ASN as public servants.

The results of the service show that ASN who take part in the training are able to use English actively in the form of presentations, understand how to correspond formally and formally, and increase TOEFL scores.
