The aim of this research is to clarify the effectiveness of one-semester profi ciency-based English classes in the Faculty of Engineering and to report and analyze the scores of the students by the G-TELP test (General Tests of English Language Proficiency). About 190 students in the Faculty of Engineering were divided into five classes, based on the G-TELP scores as a pre-test. The five classes, often called “profi ciency-based classes”, consist of two upper, two intermediate and one lower class. These proficiency-based classes focused on training reading skill, using the appropriate English textbooks for each level. The students were required to take the G-TELP as a post-test at the end of the semester. The effectiveness was determined by the difference of mean scores between the pre-test and the posttest. Statistical analyses were conducted on the scores of the three sections (Grammar, Listening, and Reading) as well as the Total scores. The results suggest that profi ciency-based classes are most effective for the lower class. Moreover, improvement in reading skill was seen for upper class students, while intermediate class students showed improvement in the grammar section.
