Thus, one’s English proficiency has been a demand for whoever involved in academic activities. Acquiring English, however, is not easy for non-English department students. The students must be facilitated to promote their better learning in their ESP class. This paper discusses a study about students’ ability and problems in writing summary at the Business Administration Department of the State Polytechnic of Malang. The participants involved were 23 first-year students. The data were collected by means of a test and an interview dealing with summary writing.
