One indication of international education is the uses of English in academic writing. As part of its effort to provide an international education, Tourism Faculty of Universitas Katolik De La Salle requires students to write their internship report in English. This research was conducted to analyze the students- performance in writing their reports in English. There were four students reports selected randomly for this study. The result showed that there were nine critical agreements in English writing the students violated. It is interesting that the disruption in students writing showed a similar pattern. They were inaccurate in regards to spelling, grammar, punctuation, fluency, conventions, conciseness, formality, clarity, and vocabulary. Among these nine inaccuracies, Grammar was the most disrupted, and fluency was the least one.
