Abstract

This essay aims to analyze some L1 interference that occurred during NNES students’ practical times using English. NNES students are local students who intake in international programs, in which they do content learning process in English. Lecturers use some approaches such as Content-Based Instruction (CBI), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), or English as a medium of instruction (EMI). There is only a modest amount of empirical research supporting the effectiveness of such approaches. NNES students’ common mistakes when using English in the process of learning is known as interference, in which the use of students’ L1 influences the mistakes. This work used a survey method, samples in the form of written products, and conversation recording is taken randomly from international students majoring in accounting. There are at least three aspects of subsystem English language features analyzed; phonology, syntax, and lexicology. Data has shown that students use some language transfer for their L1 interference to influence their L2 output.
