Abstrak

Recently, a number of top institutes and universities in Indonesia, both state and private, offer international classes - class with English as the language of instruction - to local and overseas students in order to upgrade their status as an Indonesian university with international standard.This article aims to share the experience of the writers in designing the English language training program as parts of the recruitment of lecturers to teach the international class or Z class as it is called at University of Surabaya. Adopting the ADDIE model of instructional design, the process started from analyzing and identifying the problems of the lecturers in speaking. Then, it was followed with the selection, design and development of materials.The output was a syllabus/course oultine. In the phase of 
implementation, there was a teaching simulation with strict evaluation by the trainers on the trainees’ performance. The last phase was a report to the university about lecturers who had fulfilled the minimum standard of English proficiency to teach the Z class (international class). Those who had not met the standard, had to attend a continuing training program at Ubaya Language Center.
