HumasUPNVJ - Another achievement, one of the students from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences majoring in International Relations class of 2018, Sulistia Wargi managed to win 3rd place in a prestigious competition, namely the 2020 National Level Language Ambassador.
The National Level Language Ambassador Selection activity was carried out with the mission to always give birth to a Pancasilaist young generation who are able to take a real role in strengthening the function of the Indonesian language. This is strategic in order to strengthen unity, as well as strengthen the identity and competitiveness of the nation which continues to face challenges in line with technological developments and the world political order. The participants in the National Level Language Ambassador Selection were assessed from the aspects of knowledge, skills, attitude, appearance, and talent. Knowledge assessment is carried out through oral presentations, interviews on linguistic knowledge, and assessment of activity designs. Skills assessment is carried out through interviews on language skills. While attitude assessment is carried out through interviews and observing the behavior of participants while participating in the activity. While the appearance assessment is carried out through observing the harmony of physical appearance. Meanwhile, the talent assessment was carried out by observing the appearance of the talents and interests of the participants.

Selection is carried out from the provincial level, then each champion in the province will represent their region at the national level. The number of national participants this year was 30 pairs of Language Ambassadors from all over Indonesia.
Sulistia went through several stages up to the quarantine process. The Quarantine Activity for the Selection of National Language Ambassadors will be held at Novotel Mangga Dua, October 19-24 2020. It will be carried out in person (face to face) while still implementing health protocols.
The UPNVJ Public Relations Team had the opportunity to conduct an online interview with Sulistia. In her interview, Sulistia explained the preparation process she had undertaken while participating in this competition, “I did a lot of preparation and spent a lot of time, effort, and money. Primarily, each selected Language Ambassador in the province must prepare Linguistic and Literary Credentials, Regional Talent Performances, and prepare linguistic, literary, and literacy insights. However, with the amount of time, energy and even money that I spend, there are also many things that I enjoy and am grateful for. The thing that I enjoyed and will never forget when preparing for the activity was when I visited Tunda Island, the place where my Language and Literature Study was carried out. The beautiful island and innocent children make me touched and want to contribute more to the country. It feels like there are more joys than sorrows and I am grateful for all of them.” Sulistia said
Sulistia, who has loved writing literature (poems and short stories) since she was young, also enjoys learning new things in her life, such as learning foreign languages.
"My hopes are very many, one of which is that I can continue to do positive things and spread the benefits. Besides that, I also hope that I can realize the main task of being a Language Ambassador, namely inviting and motivating Indonesian people to love and prioritize Indonesian, preserve regional languages, and master foreign languages. And for friends, make the best use of youth, because youth will not be repeated and time will not want to wait, it will definitely keep moving forward.” Close it
Hopefully the other #friendsbelanegara can also continue to achieve achievements like what Sulistia Wargi did
