Nurul Hamida A teacher at the Accounting Department, State Polytechnic of Semarang Email: [email protected] Abstract: This study is conducted in 2012 in order to know the English learning achievement profile of the students in the Accounting Study Program. Furthermore, with the result of this study, hopefully there are some necessary actions as the follow-up of this study which can be taken into consideration in order to improve it. Actually there are six parallel classes for the first and the second year students but there are only five parallel classes for the third year students, however the sample of this study is only one of the classes in the second year which is chosen using purposive random sampling. The second year students are chosen as the sampling since they are in their mid or their time studying in the State Polytechnic of Semarang. And the other one class of the sample is taken from the first year students. The result of this study shows that most of the students get A and only a few of them get C, and none of them gets D or E. In contrast, their TOEIC scores are not very good. Eventhough they do not perform satisfying enough in the TOEIC test. Since the passing grade required by the Study Program is only 400. Therefore, most of them can reach it, with the scores ranging from 400 up to 450. Only very few students get more than 450. The other few of them show bad performance in TOEIC test with the scores under 400.The result of this reseach also shows that although there is an increase but the TOEIC scores of the first year and the second year students do not differ significantly. Keywords: achievement, passing grade, scores
