Abstract: In order to develop
their academic quality, it is very important for UNS' lecturers to improve
English competency. It needs a conscientious management to reach the goal of
having English competency effectively. Based on the result of the interview
with the lecturers who attend English course, it was found that there were some
obstacles in carrying out the English course. The data were collected by using
questionnaire and interview. The result of this research showed that there were
some obstacles dealing with developing lecturers’ English competency: (1)
management factors, the time of English course activity often overlapped with
lecturers' other activities, consequently it caused only few participants
attend the course; (2) the motivation of trainees factor, it showed that they
had low need of achievement. It can be seen from some indicators: a) they did
not spend time to learn the material outside the classroom; b) they did not
study English at home; c) they attended the course without preparation. Therefore
the researcher proposed several suggestions: (1) it is crucial to improve
coordination to hold the course at the appropriate time; (2) it is necessary to
motivate the trainees by giving rewards in connection with improvement in
career or promotion/rank.
