Abstract-In response to the need to use English in the context of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), the IndonesianMinistry of Research and Technology and Higher Education has required that universities offer a bilingual curriculum in selected disciplines (Farmita, 2014) for the economic benefits for students and institutions (Shohamy , 2014). It is believed that English as a medium of instruction (EMI) would support internationalization of the higher education sector and would be advantages in competition within the region. Implementing a bilingual curriculum is especially complex in Indonesia, where a majority of the public speaks a local language as their first language and must master Indonesian to participate fully in the public realm. This study aims to evaluate an EMI program in an international Accounting Department. Document analysis and survey are conducted to reveal students' perspectives on the implementation of the program. This study finds that the program has been very supportive for students, regarding the bilingual activity and enough exposure to English . The limitation is in the support from the university regarding the facilities, improvement in teaching and learning methods.This studywill serve as the basis for more effective language teaching and program implementation in the context of AEC.

A community of practice (CoP) consists of individuals who ally with one another to pursue topics or goals of common interest. The goal of CoP membership is to deepen one's knowledge and gain additional expertise from the community's more experienced members. In English language teaching, CoPs have typically been implemented with classroom learners. Alternatively, they may also be implemented with teachers for the purpose of ongoing professional development. This entry concerns the latter case, initiated in the five countries in the Lower Mekong region of Southeast Asia as part of a larger US government project. The goal of this project, the Professional Communication Skills for Leaders (PCSL) CoP, was to create transnational alliances among teachers in the region and better prepare them to teach English for professional purposes to local experts in environment, health, infrastructure, energy development, and agriculture. The entry provides information on the implementation of the project and how it is being sustained.
