This study aims to examine the improvement rate of students after their one-year study at an EMI university as well as to further explore the challenges and the opportunities they encounter throughout the period. To answer those questions, 100 first-year students from one EMI university were recruited as research participantsthrough a purposive sampling method: 20 participants from A1 - C1 level. The participants were assigned to do a standardized test prior to the start of their study (pre-test) and after their one-year study (post-test). The improvement rate was analyzed quantitatively using T-tests. Data about the challenges and opportunities they encounter to improve their English proficiency was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed qualitatively. The result shows that the improvement of English proficiency is experienced by all groups (A1-C1), with B2 group who get the highest improvement. From the questionnaire, it is found out that writing skill gets the least improvement.Thefactors that promote and impede their progress are also discussed. This gives valuable information which can affect English teaching and learning materials and methodology in order to maximize the opportunities of studying in an EMI university.

The aim of this study is to improve students' confidence in speaking (Speaking) through Simulation methods for grade 9.1 students at SMP Negeri 3 Pringsewu. This study is a collaborative action research (CAR) with two cycles. Researchers used questionnaires and observations which were then triangulated. The data analysis technique uses a comparative descriptive analysis. After being given treatment in cycle I and II there were 31 (86%) students who had high self-confidence, 3 (8.4%) students of the total number of students who had low self-confidence, and 2 (5.6%) students of the total who still had low self-confidence.

This study tries to answer two questions, namely 1) What do the lecturers and the students perceive about the practice of plagiarism in L2 writing? 2) What strategies did the lecturers and the students apply to writing L2 to avoid plagiarism? This study aimed at investigating the views of lecturers and students on plagiarism and its implications for teaching and learning at one of the EMI universities in Indonesia. The findings showed that both lecturers and students had negative views towards plagiarism. However, even though plagiarism was considered as an unacceptable behavior, the students would be likely to commit plagiarism under certain circumstances. Back translation was also found to be the most common strategy that the students used to avoid plagiarism. The study finally recommended higher education institutions to equip students with necessary language and writing skills needed in academic settings as early as possible in order for them to avoid plagiarism.

This current research is to modify songs for teaching English vocabulary by inserting Islamic values (sholawat) in them. The Hannafin and Peck Model was applied. The first phase reveals thatPesantren are mostly characterized by Islamic values and santris’ main weaknesses concern with basic English vocabularies and pronunciation. In the second phase,the sholawat songs the santris liked were modified to teachirregular verbs and uncountable nouns. The songs were chosen because most of the santris had already been familiar with them. The third indicated that the santris gave positive responses to the songs and could remember the vocabularies easily.

This current research describes the application of GBA in teaching writing to university students. It was conducted by observing an English teacher in implementing GBA in his class. The result showed that he had fully implemented GBA which worked very well with the students in the beginner level. The roles of the teacher found were as an expert (BKOF, MOT), a resource person (BKOF), a director (BKOF), a facilitator (BKOF, JCOT), an observer (JCOT), feedback giver (JCOT, ICOT). The result implies that GBA is effective to improve the students’ writing skill and should be considered to implement in writing classes.
