Considering the potential skills of English Department students, the English Department Students Association (HMJ-SI) organized a talent search event called “English Department Got Talent.” This program was a means for English Department students of State Islamic University of Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta to show their talents and interests. This event was important and interesting event because there were very few events that offer students a chance to show their talents. The main purpose of holding this event was to help students discover and show their interests and skills.

The participants of “English Department Got Talent” were the representative students from chapter 2013 to chapter 2017. Located at Faculty of Adab and Social Sciences, this event was held in a day, on April 28th 2017 starting from 3:00 to 5:00 PM. This event conducted several competitions such as singing, poetry, acoustic performance, storytelling, and drama performances. In the closing session, three best participants were chosen as the first, second, and third winners.
