English in non-English department is taught for all majors in university as a basic required course. In most departments, as basic general course English seems to be designed in the same ways as other basic general course such as religion or civics, without giving any consideration of its being a language skill class. The departments also do not have specific target on how English should be taught to the students, nor do they consider certain material designed for the students to suit their main competence or field of study. This study is aimed at finding the need in integrating English in the curriculum of non-English department. In doing so, the interview was conducted to 46 heads of non- English departments, and 15 English instructors in Diponegoro University. The data revealed that some departments find the need of integrating English to support their main competence. The departments also discuss the possibility of having more specific English targeted for establishing more specific abilities; hence the students will be able to see the importance of taking English for the betterment of their overall study. The English instructors also are aware that they do have resources to enable the students learn English in accordance with what students needs and in more interesting ways, although such resources must be coordinated with the heads of the departments.
