CHAPTER 4

FACILITIES AND RESOURCES

English Department

The English Department provides English support program aimed at assisting

students to improve their proficiency in academic work. The program includes
integrating Academic English (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing Skill and
Grammar) and functional ways of expressing oneself. The courses are conducted
commensurate with the students’ level of ability.

While Bahasa Indonesia is the medium of instruction throughout most of the

country, IBMT instruction is conducted solely in English as we expect our university
students to read, write and present papers in English. This policy is sometimes
barrier to those who do not have extensive educational background in English
when expressing themselves appropriately as well as understanding oral and
written discourse. With this consideration in mind, the English Department commits
to solving medium of instruction problems.

The English Department provides an intensive English program aimed at assisting

students to improve their English proficiency, which enables them to carry out their
academic work. The instruction is given commensurate with the students’ level of
ability.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Test of Written (TWE)
are given to measure students’ proficiency before transferring to overseas
universities.
