   JEC (Java English Competition) is an annual event organized by student association  of English teacher education department UIN SUNAN AMPEL Surabaya. This program aims to hone English proficiency and skills through various English language competitions for middle school, high school and university students. Previously, JEC was known as “Jatim English competition”  because the event was only intended for students in East Java. However the event was a big success, it is time for jatim English competition to expand into Java English Competition. This is also because there are many participants from outside East Java who want to join Jatim English competition.

The Java English competition participants in 2019 are expected to increase because of the wider area coverage besides there are more cities as the rayon for Java English Competition.
