English Intensive Course (IEC) is provided to all freshmen at the English Department of Semarang State University. Implementing communicative drills and exercises (CDE), this course is focused on four major skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as two minor ones (grammar/vocabulary). The purpose is to make the students ready to attend lectures in the following semesters. The problems are whether such course enhances the students’ basic performance so that they are ready for such lectures, whether such performance fulfils their expectations, and whether the freshmen’s backgrounds are influential towards the freshmen’s achievement. To solve the problems, by the end of the EIC classes the students were assessed for their six skills. A questionnaire concerning the students’ expectations of attending such courses was given to them. Student identities including their gender difference, residence, school categories and school type were included in the questionnaire. The assessment results showed that such a course enhanced their performance and that EIC had provided the students’ with basic skills. The students’ personal identities play significant roles in determining their achievement.
