Abstract

 

 Universities play a crucial role in preparing students to compete in the workforce. This demonstrates that English instruction in higher institutions is also geared toward ensuring that students have the English proficiency required for various occupations (English for Occupational Purpose). It is well recognized that students enrolled in the Biology Education Study Program, FKIP UPR, have limited English proficiency. As a result, 15 students were chosen to participate in the study as respondents. This study seeks to identify the factors that influence the English language proficiency of FKIP UPR Biology Education students. This is a descriptive study for which a questionnaire was utilized to collect data. The tabulation technique is used to analyze the data by transforming the data into tabular format. According to the findings of this study, four factors influence the English language proficiency of Biology Education Study Program students: 1) Listening ability, wherein students have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of the words they hear; 2) Speaking ability, wherein the influencing factors are the demand for using proper grammar in speaking and feeling very nervous because they are not used to speaking; 3) Writing ability, wherein what affects students' abilities is the difficulty in developing and compiling ideas; 4) Reading ability, where the inability to understand the content of the reading has a significant impact on students' ability.
