Daftar Isi:
- This research is aimed at finding out the facts and hopes about the students’ English mastery from two perspectives, that is (1) the institutional perspective – the required English mastery level of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education Department students, and (2) the students’ perspective - the students’ hopes in relation to learning English. The reserch instruments are the documentation and the questionnaire ditributed to 168 of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sriwijaya University. The findings show that the facts about the available English Course implementation and the target set by the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sriwijaya University and the current students’ English mastery are not the same as what the students’ hopes are. Therefore, the facts – the current Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education Department students’ English mastery, and the implementation of English Course as well as the target of students’ English mastery set by the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Education Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sriwijaya University do not match with the students’ hopes towards learning English at their department.
