For the students of English study program, the mean score gained was 468 of 500 and for students of non-English study program, the mean score was 370 of 450. The other finding was about the factors hampering the development of the students’ English proficiency. The factors include the students’ insufficient effort in learning and practicing English independently, the instructional English language which was not yet optimally used by the English lecturers, the students who very rarely attended English course/training, and the rare effort to familiarize the EPT (TOEFL) to the students. These factors should be considered by the policy makers if they expect that the students have good English proficiency as well as high global competitiveness..
