ICMAP Students’ Problems and Solutions in Learning English
Nowadays, learning English has become very important, especially for students taking international programs. English is the language of instruction and medium of communication in those programs. It is also the case for economics students at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. In their language-learning journey, they surely face many problems. Therefore, they have to struggle and find the solutions for their learning process to go well and succeed. Due to the urgency of this problem, this research was then conducted with the hope that this research can shed light on the teaching of English to non-English Department students. The research was done on 23 ICMAP students in Semester II, 2021–-2022 academic year. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with two students. Results showed that these students had problems with grammar, vocabulary, reading, lack of practice, no sparing partners, TOEFL tests, and inadequate learning facilities. This research is hopefully useful as an additional reference in the field of SLA as well as EAP. It is also hoped that both Academic Writing and TOEFL Preparation teachers and students find this research useful.
