In this research, an analysis of seminars diversity and their characteristics based on translation studies (Skopos theory) was conducted to obtain knowledge to improve the quality of seminars in university laboratory. From the investigation that regarded expression of the seminars as intersemiotic translation, seven types of activities were found : (1) introducing papers, (2) reading materials in turn, (3) progress report, (4) presentation, (5) discussion, (6) lecture, and (7) others. With the focus on progress report, the relevance between the seminar formation factors and students’ growth was considered by integrating the factors with Skopos. With the idea that the diversity was created by the factors, it was inductively concluded that by adjusting factors, enhancement of specific educational effects can be achieved.
