Abstract

Over 20 undergraduate freshmen of class of 2016 of Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) in Pangandaran campus (a branch of Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung), especially students from the Faculty of Communication and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences were surveyed to find their attitudes towards English. The class of 2016 undertook English 101 (Bahasa Inggris course) with a curriculum designed differently from the previous academic years, as Unpad implemented a new system and a new learning environment involving fun classroom activities and interactive learning. To know about the effectiveness of the course, this study aims to asses the sudents’ attitude towards English, learning model on English, and materials and skills in English. The method of this research is based upon language attitudes theory, adopted from Sarnoff (1970), Omar (1990), and Aziz (1994). The result of the survey could be used to create an appropriate learning model, congenial English skills to teach, and develop the materials the students need for their further study in their field of study respectively.
