In contrast to formal learning setting, informal learning setting encompasses a wider range of learning activities. By examining activities the target participants are most actively engaged in, favorable improvement on the linguistic ability of YCH Indonesia's employees is identified. In this research, two major research strategies­ qualitative and quantitative approaches-are used, in which data are collected from published reports, journals, questionnaires, and interviews. This research challenges Long's (1998) argument that social setting is not substantial in Second Language Acquisition process. By propelling change in an array of current learning "myths", skeptical views towards informal learning setting can be gradually altered.} }
