1.6.3 Academic Purposes
Academic means connected with education, especially studying in schools and universities, or involving a lot of reading and studying rather than practical or
technical skills Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English, 2000. According to Sullivan and Rosin 2008, the academy is disposed primarily toward
bodies of knowledge. Sullivan and Rosin 2008: 94 stated that “the academy devotes most of its pedagogical effort to disseminating disciplinary frameworks for arguing
and knowing”. In this study, the academic purposes refer to the purposes which are intended to be achieved by the college students in their academy. The academic
purposes in ELESP are such as the purposes of searching and downloading useful teaching and learning resources or materials, materials for college assignments, news,
up-to-date information especially in education, on-line educational articles, journals, papers, theses, and other information which are related to academy.
1.6.4 Academic Achievements
Academic achievements refer to the achievements that relate to academy, in which are expected to be achieved by students successfully. As quoted by Brockman
and Russell 2009: 1, “successful students, they maintain, have learned to effectively balance the social and academic aspects of school, expect to succeed, and may be
described as socially proficient, goal oriented, and intrinsically motivated”.

Moreover, according to New York State Education Department 2005, in sample individualized education program IEP and guidance document,
when were talking about academic achievement, were talking about the academic subjects a child studies in school and the skills the student is
expected to master in each: reading and language arts, writing, math and the various skills expected there, science, history, and so on IEP, 2005: 1.
Hence, the academic achievements in this study refer to the aims that expected to be achieved by ELESP students which are stated in the academic guidance book of
Sanata Dharma University Prasetyo, Herawati, Prihatin, Budiraharjo, and Adjie, 2006. ELESP aims to present ELESP graduates who are:
