English and Mathematics are two subjects been tested in Computer-Based National Examination (UNBK). Considering the importance of those subjects, we as the society servant team, guide the students in the process of that exam preparation. The purpose of this activity to build and strengthen the students’ level of understanding of the subjects to make them more ready to face the exam. The methods are observation, pretest to measure the early competence, and posttest to measure the increasing level of understanding after joining a series of guidance and training. The result is that there is a significant increase in the level of understanding among students regarding those subjects. The Mathematics from 5,0 becomes6,8 and English subject from 5,2 to 7,0.
Both Math and English are the two subjects that most of students have difficulty on it. To understand Math requires logical thinking that most of students do not have. To understand English, in which the written and sound are different with our first language, requires habit to hear and write English a lot. Students need to be accustomed to using English on everyday activities. In fact, most of students tend to use Javanese or Indonesian to communicate to others. Teachers also get difficulties on motivating students to learn Math and English for the better future. Some students have struggled to learn them, but still, the results are not satisfying.Observing this phenomenon, as the lecturers of English and Math, we are trying to help the teachers on giving material with the different point of views. We introduced different approaches on giving exposure to students about Math and English. English will be taught by employing Podcast, math will be introduced by using Geogebra. It is expected that teachers and students will have another perspectives; we can say that the teachers may have another style of teaching and students will get additional learning styles.

This study attempts to give teachers a perspective regarding what problems students face during the process of learning English material by employing the Autonomous Learning. The researcher used Pragmatics as the subject of learning to observe the process of Autonomous Learning during one semester. This is a descriptive qualitative research in which 7 students of English Education of PGRI University were employed as the subjects of this study. Those students are the most active ones in class. After they conducted a series of learning process autonomously, they were expected to fill the questionnaire as the data source to reveal the basic need of the students that they are expecting from the teachers. Then the data would be explained descriptively. It is expected that the teachers are going to have some new perspectives regarding the autonomous learning, which is related to the students’ problems. What they want the teachers to do and what the teachers should provide are two fundamental considerations. This study reveals that the autonomous learning does not mean that the students learn the material fully autonomously. Bigger than that, the students still need the presence of the teachers as the agent of autonomous learning.
