Indonesia Introduction The English Education Study Program (Prodi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggri.
at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training.
UIN Sumatera Utara Medan (Prodi PBI FITK UINSU), is one of the most sought-after study programs in North Sumatra.
This can be seen from the number of applicants and prospective students interested in the program.
Data from the database center of UIN Sumatera Utara (UIN SU) in 2023 show 1,205 applicants, while the program's capacity is only 169.
The high number of applicants to the PBI program is likely due to the abundant job opportunities available for its alumni.
One of the career opportunities for PBI graduates is as English teachers in schools.
Based on the graduate profile, aside from becoming teachers.
PBI also produces graduates as novice researchers, consultants, textbook writers, translators, and digital content creators.
All of these graduate profiles will be achieved if the curriculum in the PBI program is aligned with the desired graduate profiles.
To assess whether the competencies of PBI graduates meet the expectations of stakeholders, satisfaction surveys are typically conducted by distributing questionnaires to several stakeholders.
In addition to distributing questionnaires, when the PBI program conducts curriculum reviews, stakeholders are also invited to provide constructive suggestions and review any shortcomings of PBI alumni in their work with stakeholders.
Nevertheless, the PBI program will continue to meet stakeholder demands to improve the quality and standards of each learning process so that alumni are equipped to enhance their skills and compete in the global arena.
Apart from the academic field mentioned above, the PBI program must also pay attention to the need for infrastructure and facilities that align with the progress of the times to support learning.
Moreover, the character development of graduates is also essential so that they possess noble ethics and can compete with other nations.
Stakeholder perceptions of alumni are one of the benchmarks for evaluating the quality of alumni produced by the PBI program.
Information gathered through surveys, interviews, focus group discussions (FGD.
, and other methods can provide insight into the shortcomings of alumni, which will then serve as a reference for creating improvement plans that will be beneficial in the future.
The information obtained not only contributes to the development and improvement of the PBI program in the future, but it is also essential for the preparation of the PBI FITK UIN SU Medan accreditation document, which will be submitted in 2024.
Currently, the data held by the PBI program regarding stakeholders is not yet optimal, making this research necessary to gather more in-depth information on stakeholder perceptions of the competencies of PBI graduates.
Methodology This study adopts a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore in depth the meaning and subjective experiences of 33 external stakeholders regarding the competencies of graduates from the English Education Study Program (Prodi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggri.
at FITK UIN SU Medan.

Based on the data presented above, it can be concluded that almost all points in the questionnaire received very good results, especially in the aspects of personality related to religious values, such as morals and religious practices.
Additionally, the component of language proficiency also received excellent scores according to the data presented above.
However, there are some points in the evaluation that still received less favorable ratings, such as in the areas of discipline, morality, work ethic, obedience to leaders/superiors, innovation and creativity, punctuality in completing work, response to work needs, non-verbal foreign language proficiency, initiative in work, and openness to criticism.
These ten points need improvement by the management of the TBI FITK UIN SU Medan program.

Indonesia This perception of other stakeholders was supported by TOEFL testing results, which showed the low proficiency of students.
These learnersAo perceptions affect their motivation to learn English, as they are already content with their skills.
It is recommended that instructors and institutions correct these perceptions without allowing them to become demotivating factors in English learning at STIE.
It would be even better if instructors and institutions could motivate students, thus eliminating cognitive dissonance.
The results of stakeholder perceptions of alumni from TBI FITK UIN SU Medan align with the research conducted by Kristanti et al.
, whose study showed that stakeholdersAo expectations regarding attitude competence include being religious, quick to help colleagues, enthusiastic during national holidays, responsive to their social environment, disciplined, responsible, and courageous.
Based on the research findings, alumni of TBI FITK UIN SU Medan have met stakeholder expectations in terms of religious observance and personality.
Regarding the writing skills of alumni from TBI FITK Medan, stakeholders still perceive these skills as lacking, which aligns with the findings of Hayati .
HayatiAos research states that, according to stakeholder perceptions, the most essential skill for students to possess is writing, particularly for writing project proposals, business letters, and communicating via Another equally important skill for students entering the workforce is speaking, especially in explaining projects verbally in English, seminars, or explaining daily tasks.
Another crucial skill is reading, as students need to read textbooks in English or source materials from the internet.
The final essential skill is listening, which is necessary for understanding project discussions or seminars.
Conclusion and Recommendations Based on the data presentation, findings, and discussion in the previous chapter, it can be concluded that the stakeholders' perceptions of the alumni of PBI FITK UIN SU are very Almost all points were filled out with the highest percentage being "very good" from the 33 statement points that needed to be completed.
There are ten points where one respondent out of the 33 respondents rated them as "poor," specifically in the areas of discipline, morality, work ethic, compliance with leadership/supervision, innovation and creativity, timeliness in work completion, response to work needs, non-verbal foreign language skills, initiative in work, and openness to criticism.
Two respondents out of the 33 had a "poor" perception in the areas of information technology proficiency and the ability to use modern tools in line with job requirements, while one respondent stated that the communication skills of the alumni from TBI FITK UIN SU Medan were very poor, specifically in communication.
The results of this study should serve as a reference for the management of the PBI FITK UIN SU program to make improvements, particularly in areas that are considered very lacking, such as discipline, morality, work ethic, compliance with leadership/supervision, innovation and creativity, timeliness in work completion, response to work needs, non-verbal foreign language skills, initiative in work, and openness to criticism, as well as proficiency in information technology, the ability to use modern tools according to job requirements, and communication skills.
