Congrats Cita! That’s One Title Really Worth Fighting For

Dear readers, our program managed to successfully deliver one more student worthy to put one of the highest academic titles in her name. Ms Cita Nuary Ishaq, or Cita for short, was able to satisfactorily defend her dissertation entitled Hypes in Academic Texts by Indonesian EFL Learners in her Ujian Disertasi on June 16, 2025.

During her sidang, Cita was able to convince the board of examiners that trend-driven discourses might be alarming as they may create empty jargons or meaningless repetitions in scientific communications, rendering the nurturing or fostering of more authentic academic (local) voices.

Acting as her Dewan Penguji were Prof. Dr. Yazid Basthomi, Nurenzia Yannuar, Ph.D., Evynurul Laily Zein, Ph.D., Prof. Bambang Yudi Cahyono, Ph.D., Prof. Nunung Suryati, Ph.D. and Prihantoro, Ph.D. as external examiner from Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Diponegoro. All examiners agreed unanimously on the predicate of “dengan memuaskan” for her dissertation.

Again, biggest kudos to Cita! May this success become an evidence of lifelong learning and start a journey of highest academic contribution to our country. If anything, you deserve it!
