They are taking Diploma 3 Study Program and Diploma 4 Study Program of Business Administration Department at State Polytechnic of Malang, Indonesia. It is admitted that those students are having no English background in their daily situation. The problems and approaches are viewed from two different perspectives: the students and the teacher. The data are obtained through questionnaire, interview, and observation. The findings confirm that most students are in favor of Business English presentation. However, some prominent problems are clearly spotted. The students somehow employ some approaches as well to overcome their problems.
