Kediri City as the local has made an innovation program in preparing the resources of the Kediri City community in order to face the AEC especially for human resources. The English Massive (EMAS) is a free English learning program provided by the Government of Kediri City. The research objective was to explain how the EMAS program was implemented and analyze the constraint in the EMAS program implementation. The study was conducted using a qualitative method with case study analysis. Data collection techniques are carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The research explained that the implementation of the EMAS program is quite good. The variables for support the implementation such as: human resources, facilities, funding and stakeholder's commitment on trying to better in order to perfect the EMAS program. Even though, the EMAS program could not be separated from the constraints such as: the participant for teenager and adult still low, the increasing number of community requests is not accompanied by the adequate number of tutors so the Department of Education of Kediri City must organize the new open recruitment for new tutors in 2018. The collaboration among stakeholder needed to support the EMAS program can still run.
