Abstract

Learning a foreign language can’t be seen as a ‘myopic isolated’ in which a certain knowledge only based on its certain field of study. A recent method of learning such as English as a second language has already focused on constructive theory, a multidisciplinary approach which combine some paradigms such as linguistic, psychology, and sociology2. In this sense, there are many aspects like socio-cultural involved, not only for the richness and comprehensive understanding of the teaching itself, but also for conducting an interesting method of English teaching –learning as a foreign language. Since IAIN changed into UIN Sunan Kalijaga, this campus has transformed into a an integrated-interconnected university which’s not only implied in its vision but also in its policy and curricula. This concept is like a multidisciplinary in which a graduate of UIN Sunan Kalijaga should be able to know and introduced both Islam and ‘secular’ knowledge. To support this policy, one of the mission is to obligate students getting at least 400 score of TOEFL for the under-graduate program before they graduate from their faculties. One of this implementation is a centralization of language teaching. Since 2008, this university has conducted a centralized Arabic and English in which all students from all faculties must take an English and Arabic class in the Centre for the Language, Culture and Religion (Pusat Bahasa, Budaya dan Agama – PBBA).
