- Language Center (LC) University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) currently conducted English proficiency test for freshmen on Thursday, June 16, 2011. Under the policy of the university, during their study at UMM, students are required to take three English proficiency tests. The first test is administered right after students’ arrival at UMM; the second one is administered a year after completing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes, compulsory courses offered at their first year of study; and the last test is on their bachelor graduation. In other words, this test was a starting remark for the two following tests. Held in UMM Dome Basement, the English proficiency test, divided into 4 shifts within a day, was administered to measure around 1250 freshmen competence levels, especially their English mastery. They were freshmen of the first admission period. The next agenda, on August 18-19, 2011, LC will also conduct similar test for other freshmen from second and third admission periods. Before starting the test, the test takers were warmly welcomed by brief overview on the importance of attending ESP classes delivered by Ms. Dwi Poedjiastutie, M.A., the Director of Language Center. As the proficiency test was quite new for most of test takers, Ms. Poedjiastutie clearly explained the instructions of the test.
