Abstract

Library and Information Science (LIS) students as Students of Non-English Department (SNED) need betterments in terms of approach from their facilitators (lecturers, that is.) The approach should bring with it an atmosphere of enlightenment of which form should be inspiring, triggering, and entertaining in some way. As English Language Learners (ELLs) majoring in LIS, they would find it rather discouraging to learn English since they might not see the importance of studying other than their major. However, as university students, they are there to exercise their critical thinking. The aim of the present study is to generate flair of this kind of ELLs through FIESTA (Fun and interesting, Interactive, Explorative, Systematic, Technology savvy, Autonomous) and PAIKEM (Partisipatif, Aktif, Inovatif, Kreatif, Efektif, Menyenangkan, or Participative, Active, Innovative, Creative, Effective, Interesting) modes of approach. An approach using a qualitative method of research with interview and observation as instruments results in significantly positive impact. It is indicated that any facilitator’s efforts made towards betterments in terms of mainly speaking and, writing using acceptable English makes room for a possibility.
