and Humanities of Faculty (FAH) Alauddin State Islamic University Makassar held

The implementation of the Department PKM activity which

Alauddin Makassar lecturers.
"We are very happy and grateful to the lecturers (BSI
FAH UIN Alauddin Makassar) for choosing our place as the location of PKM.
Moreover, the arrival of the lecturers coincided with the 58th National
Teachers' Day (HGN)." said the Head of Hidayah Islamic hill Boarding
School, K.H. Abdul Hamid Sarro, BA when welcoming the PKM group of the BSI FAH
UIN Alauddin Makassar Department, Saturday (25/11).
National Teachers' Day (HGN), which is commemorated every
November 25, is a space of appreciation given to teachers for the spirit of
learning, sharing, and collaborating in independent learning for the
realization of safe, comfortable, and fun learning for students.
The theme of HGN 2023 commemoration is "Move Together,
Celebrate Free Learning." With the implementation of this PKM, continued
the former Principal of SMP Negeri 1 Malino, the spirit of learning fun,
especially learning English, can be applied in Islamic boarding schools which
are part of UIN Alauddin Makassar.
Bukit Hidayah Islamic Boarding School which was established
on June 7, 2004 is campus IV UIN Alauddin Makassar. The establishment of this
Islamic boarding school was initiated by the former Rector of IAIN/UIN Alauddin
Makassar for the period 1985-1993 Prof. Dr. Hj. Andi Rasydiana.
According to Abdul Hamid, as a teacher Prof. Rasydiana at
that time felt called to advance education for people living in the mountainous
areas of Malino.
With his persistence, the former IAIN/UIN Tarbiyah Lecturer
Alauddin Makassar and the former Director General of Islamic Bimas of the
Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag RI) established the Bukit Hidayah
Islamic Boarding School which is located in Bulutana Village, Tinggimoncong
District, Gowa Regency.
"Although this Boarding School is still lacking in
facilities, it is rich in achievements that have been achieved by students at
the national level. For the last two years, alumni of this Boarding
School have passed into Gadjah Mada University Yogyakarta and even as many as
seven students have succeeded in representing South Sulawesi at the national
level for the Quran khatam competition." Hamid explained.
He hopes that PKM activities based on the spirit of sharing
knowledge of learning English can continue to be sustainable.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the Department of BSI FAH UIN
Alauddin Makassar Sandra Dewi Dahlan, S.Pd., M.A in front of around 50 MTs
students and Aliyah Pesantren Bukit Hidayah Malino gave motivation about the
importance of learning English.
He also gave an example of the benefits obtained by one of
the BSI lecturers who during school diligently studied English.
"I want to introduce the one of our lecturers, Mrs.
Waode Suryadarma, thanks to her perseverance in learning English when she was
still in school like her younger siblings, she now often goes abroad to attend
international scale events. So, from now on, if you want to study abroad and
travel around the world, you must master English." he said.
