Surabaya, 23rd May 2025 — Universitas Negeri Surabaya
Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang (UNSIKA) and Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA) have officially established a collaboration focused on scientific publication and curriculum development. This agreement was formalized after discussions between Evi Karlina Ambarwati, S.S., M.Ed., Coordinator of the English Education Study Program at UNSIKA, and Dr. Himmawan Adi Nugroho, M.Pd., Coordinator of the English Education Study Program at UNESA, on May 23, 2025.
