The students’ competency is the “estuary” of the long and complex process encountered by the students in learning for a range of time. Many perception still regard competency as the students’ result of learning in answering achievement or cognitive test. Instead, competency is not just cognitive, but also psychomotor and affective (Undang-Undang No. 20 tahun 2003 tentang SISDIKNAS). 

Operationally, competency covers knowledge, skill, and values. In the context of foreign language instruction, i.e English, students’ competency is how the students can communicate by using English. It is based on the nature of the language itself as a tool for communication. Depdiknas (2003) states that language has central role in intellectual, social, and emotional development. 

To construct students’ competency in English, the teachers should direct the English instruction to constructivist paradigm viewing that knowledge contsruction occurs through individual operation (Piaget in Elliot et al., 1996) and social interaction (Vygotsky in Elliot et a.l, 1996). The students must be given ample opportunity to participate actively during learning process. 

Besides the area of learning process, the role of assessment can not be ignored. It is because there is a close relationship between learning and assessment context (Gagne et al.,2005). The assessment method should be directed to be able to measure students’ competency covering three domains, namely: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Here, the assessment can be directed to the implementation of authentic assessment which attempts to measure performance in real-life contexts (McAlpine, 2000).
