Abstract
Since its emergence, ESP along with the development of important aspects in
human’s lives including economics, science and technology has developed valuable
knowledge for language teaching enterprise. Similarly, in Indonesia ESP has also answered the demand for specific English used in the vocational and professional field by establishing its place in the vocational high school level curriculum as well as higher education level curriculum. Yet, many ESP teachers and curriculum designers
often neglect the learners’ specific needs by excluding needs analysis from ESP plans as well as abandoning its prospective contribution to day to day teaching and learning process such as teaching methodology and material being used. Thus, by inviting four groups of stakeholders from four non-educational engineering study programs at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, this study hoped to be able to draw a picture of English needs as perceived by the target engineering community. With the employment of questionnaire and interview this study were able to collect several information regarding target engineering community’s present situation and target
situation covering; target learners’ objective information, expected purposes of the
course, available resources, prospective use of the language, and present English for Engineering classroom. These data findings were further used as series suggestions in designing English for Engineering syllabus intended for the mentioned setting.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This introductory chapter presents a review of the thesis. It is arranged in seven sections.
First and foremost, the background of the study is briefly discussed, followed by an overview of
the study setting and statement of the problem. Purpose of the study and research questions are
presented as fourth and fifth section respectively. Sixth section justifies the significant of the
study as the seventh section sets out the thesis organization.
1.1. Background of the Study
Since its emergence in 1960s (Orr, 2001, p. 207), ESP has gained notable place in the
literature and has been continuing to be an important and dynamic area of specialization within
ELT (Flowerdew, 1990, p. 326). Not only for English speaking countries, the major concern
related to ESP is also noticed elsewhere (Salager-Meyer, 2000, p. 11). Initiated by the
development in educational psychology (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987), ESP counts varied
learners‟ needs and interests as a priority since they directly affects learners‟ motivation, and yet
the effectiveness of their learning (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987, p. 8). This exact learner-centered
view has successfully facilitated the increasing demand of English for specific disciplines,
professions and purposes projected to better meet the learners‟ needs (Dudley-Evans & St John, 1998; Hutchinson & Waters, 1987; Paltridge & Starfield, 2011). This very demand also reflects
the history of ESP tracked by Water & Hutchinson (1987) which is connected to the raise of
technology and commerce resulted from World War after-effect. Now decades later the world
has not shown any sign of slowing down especially in area of science and technology (UN,
2015).
As in Indonesia, ESP has also answered the demand for specific English used in the
vocational and professional field by establishing its place in the vocational high school level
curriculum as well as higher education level curriculum. Higher education institutions in
Indonesia, both government-funded and independent, at least provide two credit hours of ESP
program for their students in order to address the needs of specific language and communication
many ESP teachers and curriculum designers often neglect the learners‟ specific needs by excluding needs analysis from ESP plans (Paniya, 2008) as well as abandoning its prospective
contribution to day to day teaching and learning process such as teaching methodology and
material being used (Paniya, 2008; Kusni, 2001). Therefore, to facilitate the mentioned needs,
the institutions need to design a suitable course that is intended to fulfill the gap between the
students and the world. This attempt can be realized by firstly conducting the needs analysis to
reveal the ideas from stakeholders as it is known as the first step of course design (Dudley-Evans
& St. John, 1998; Jordan, 2009; Mehrdad, 2012; Nation & Macalister, 2010; Hutchinson &
Water, 1987). Once the profile containing information about what Berwick (1989) called
“perceived and felt needs”, or what Hutchinson & Water (1987) called “necessities, wants and lacks of the learners” are gathered, then a course designer can use it as a basis of deciding other
components of a program, syllabus or curriculum (Brown, 2001).
Despite the unarguable clarity of the importance of ESP and Needs Analysis mentioned
above, little attention has been given to the development of them in Indonesian higher education
system (Marwan, 2009). He further highlighted the main challenges in teaching ESP in Indonesia
by pointing out the gap between „expectation and reality‟ created by industrywide‟s demands,
institution stakeholders, ESP teachers and students. Therefore, in order to overcome such gap it
is then necessary to draw a clear picture as a small representation of ESP teaching in Indonesia to
which the higher educational institutions can look up as a model. It is highly expected that the
picture drawn from this study can provide a rather general description of students‟ needs,
stakeholders‟ wants and industrywide‟s expectation.
To achieve such purpose, this study tried to build a profile containing information in
regards to the English for Engineering at Indonesia University of Education through the Needs
Analysis (Presents and Target situation Analysis). The understanding of these needs can then be
used as the basis on which the effective objectives, goals, syllabus and teaching methodologies
constituted the major part of the curriculum can be appropriately defined (Dudley-Evans & St.
John, 1998; Jordan, 2009; Nation & Macalister, 2010; Hutchinson & Water, 1987). Thus to
fulfill the growing demand of the above needs, this study, therefore, puts forward a framework
for a NA approach as the basis for investigating the English language needs of the Engineering
students and community. It targeted both engineering students and practitioners at Indonesia
Muhammad Aditya Gilang Ramadhan, 2015
Indonesia. Moreover, the mentioned setting was expected to be a representation of typical
engineering students, typical institution stakeholders as well as a typical place in which
technology and engineering are factors on demand. Indonesia University of Education is a state
university located in Bandung, Indonesia that offers various engineering majors bundled in the
Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education. This faculty is a home of six departments
covering seventeen study programs. Four non-education study programs were chosen as they
offered technical study programs which were mechanical engineering, building engineering,
electrical engineering and architecture engineering. Furthermore, these four study programs were
expected to be the source of the engineering community population being investigated.
1.2. The Research Questions
In order to capture the profile of English needs of engineering community, this study
attempted to answer the following research question:
1. What are the specific English needs of Indonesian Engineering students and professionals
to fully function in their academic and target career situation?
2. What type of syllabus is expected to meet the needs of engineering students in the
mentioned context?
1.3. The Research Aims
This study aimed to capture the English needs perceived by Indonesia engineering
students in academic and professional journey of their lives. Thus, by investigating both English
needs of engineering students and professionals, this study was able to capture the profile of
English Engineering (EG) in Indonesia. Through a needs analysis using questionnaires and
interviews to elicit the subjective perceptions of these populations, this study pursued the
following objectives:
1. To produce a profile of the specific English needs of typical Indonesian engineering
students and professionals to fully function in their academic and target career situation
2. To produce a model of ESP data-driven syllabus which is suitable for the mentioned
context
It was highly expected that this study would help to foster further understanding of
engineering students‟ current and future English language needs from a pedagogical perspective in Indonesian setting. Moreover, it was also expected to explore and indentifying learners‟
specific needs as a necessary starting point in designing or developing courses, programs and
curricula (Munby, 1978; Hull, 2006)
1.4. Significance of the study
The significance of this study can be attributed, first and foremost, to the shift of focus in
the field of language teaching and learning from the teacher to the learner (Hull, 2004, p. 2) as it
provides a picture of present and target needs to build the curriculum foundation (Richterich &
Chancerel, 1987, p. 4; Harmer, 2007; Master, 2007; Dudley-Evans & St. John, 1998; Jordan,
2009; Nation-Macalister, 2010; Hutchinson & Water, 1987). It is a motivating factor for
choosing this particular topic, since it reflects the efforts of the crucial role of learners‟ needs that
drive the process of curriculum design and development, material production and teaching ESP
methodology. Moreover, an analysis of students‟ needs, interests, abilities and difficulties is
necessary in order to identify what they would like to do with the language, what kind of
language they already know, what kind of language they lack and what kind of problems they
encounter in Indonesian context. Thus, understanding these needs and identifying the kind of
language that learners are going to use in their target careers is likely to be importance in the ESP
learning and teaching process in general and Indonesian English for Engineering in particular.
Lastly, this study is expected to help those affected by the ESP/EE course itself to refresh their
perception of its planning and implementation, especially in Indonesia University of Education

RESEARCH METHOD
3.1. Introduction
This chapter discusses the methodology employed in this study. Firstly, the main purpose
and the research questions (RQs) of the study are provided. Secondly, the mixed methods
employed for this study and the rationale of the choice of these methods will be described. The
next section involves a discussion of the research study in which the research context is outlined, the participants involved in this study are detailed, and the researcher’s roles are explained. This way, the current study is able to provide the clear map on addressing the target students’ needs as students and their long-term needs as professional both from stakeholders’ perspectives. Next,
the research instruments applied in the study are presented. These include questionnaires and
interviews. The chapter, then, discusses the data analysis methods applied in the study,
triangulation, the validity and credibility and some ethics and risks issues related to the study.
Finally, the limitations of research methodology are discussed and conclusions are drawn.
3.2. Purpose of the Study and Research Questions
This study aimed to capture the English needs perceived by the target community in
Indonesia engineering enterprise. The main objective of this study was to investigate why,
where, when and how the target language was needed by the stakeholders through the use of Hutchinson and Waters’s NA approaches (1987) of Present Situation Analysis (PSA) and Target Situation Analysis (TSA). Thus, by investigating both English needs of engineering students and
professionals, this study was able to capture the profile of English Engineering (EG) in
Indonesia. Through a needs analysis using questionnaires and interviews eliciting the subjective
perceptions of these populations, the study pursued the following objectives:
1. To produce a profile of the specific English needs of typical Indonesian engineering
students and professionals to fully function in their academic and target career situation
2. To produce a model of ESP data-driven syllabus which is suitable for the mentioned
context
It was highly expected that this study would help to foster further understanding of engineering students’ current and future English language needs from a pedagogical perspective in Indonesian setting. Moreover, it was also expected to explore and indentifying learners’ specific needs as a necessary starting point in designing or developing courses, programs and
curricula (Munby, 1978; Hull, 2006). Furthermore, in order to fulfill the mentioned objectives,
this study generated the following research questions:
1. What are the specific English needs of Indonesian Engineering students and professionals
to fully function in their academic and target career situation?
2. What type of syllabus is expected to meet the needs of engineering students in the
mentioned context?
3.3. Research methods
Looking at the above research objectives, this study adopted a descriptive method. This
type of research method is targeted to provide the description and interpretation of the data as it
is (Cohen, Manion & Morrison, 2007, p. 205). The use of this methodology was expected to
produce a fuller picture of the topic being investigated as well as expanding the scope and
breadth of the “lacks, necessities and wants” (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987) of ESP learners,
alumni/professional, teachers and course coordinators in their journey of fulfilling the industrywide practice’s demands. The mentioned research design is married with the mentioned study purposes as it “focuses on collecting, organizing and summarizing information” (Malik & Hamied, 2014) obtained from the respondents of the Needs Analysis. Moreover, this study
corresponds to the characteristic of descriptive research explained by Malik and Hamied (2014) as it “describes” what the needs of Engineering community are like and how they are “related to each other” when they are simplified and synthesized in the form of a syllabus.
3.4. Setting and Respondents of the Study
The respondents of this study was drawn from the insights from theorists like Munby
Muhammad Aditya Gilang Ramadhan, 2015
Long (2005) who emphasized that the Needs Analysis should involve the target group, the
audience, the needs analyst and the resource group. As informed by Brown (2009) the target
group is the group, commonly students, where the information will be ultimately gathered. He
further explains that the audiences (teachers, administrators) are those who will act upon the
analysis. The needs analyst is the person to conduct the needs analysis and gain information from
the other three groups. Lastly, the resource group is those who provide information on the target
group (professors of content course of the students).
For the present study, the target group was represented by the engineering students from
four majors; Mechanical, Building, Architecture and Electrical engineering, whereas, the
audience was represented by the English instructors and finally the resource group was
represented by the professional engineers and the managers of program study. Moreover, in
drawing the population, this study employed stratified random sampling technique (Fraenkell &
Wallen, 2008; Coolidge, 2000; Ivankova & Creswell, 2009). The similar sampling technique was
also applied to the selection of graduates/professionals. The complete picture of the sample is
drawn, as follows:
1. Engineering Students
The students from four-non-education-engineering majors were chosen to provide
information on wants or subjective needs. The sample of the present study was 120
students majoring in non-education Electrical, Building, Architecture and Mechanical
engineering at Indonesia University of Education, Bandung.
2. Professional Engineers
Information from professional engineers represented necessities or required knowledge.
Sixty of them were chosen as respondents for the present study. These respondents were
invited from a number of companies practicing in Building, Mechanical, Architecture and
Electrical engineering. They were chosen due to the fact that they have experienced the
target situation in industrywide practice. Thus, they possessed ideas of the target situation
and suitable activities for the ESP course.
3. ESP Teachers
The ESP teachers were chosen to represent the group of audience. The four of them were
on stratified sampling technique. They were invited from Electrical, Architecture,
4. Study Program Managers
The faculty members provided information on the necessities or required knowledge. The
present study involved four study program managers from four engineering study
programs at UPI Bandung.

In order to gain information and data needed in conducting the research, a questionnaire
and interviews were conducted. A questionnaire was employed as a survey instrument to dig
information from the respondents (Shavelson, 2002, p. 102). Meanwhile, interview was
conducted to further investigate or gather more detailed and better information from the
interviewee (Polkinghome, 2005; Miles and Huberman, 1994; DiCicco-Bloom & Crabtree,
2006). Details about the procedure of data collection are described in the following table:

The questionnaires were first distributed to the 120 non-education engineering students at
Indonesia University of Education on the 16th of June 2015 and the last day of the distribution
was on 25th of June 2015. The questionnaire consisted of a series of questions derived from the
Present Situation Analysis model proposed by Hutchinson & Waters (1987). This model reflects
three sections: personal information, English needs, and suggestions for future ESP course. The
personal information section covers the participants experience in previous English studies,
situation of English use, and proficiency in English. Meanwhile, the English needs section was
divided into five sub-sections: language functions, listening skills, speaking skills, reading skills,
and writing skills. Lastly, the suggestions for future ESP course section included preferences of
students in terms of topic, activities, materials, instructor, time, and assessment for the future
ESP course.
This particular model was also used as the basis of questionnaire design targeted for
professional engineers. The distribution of this questionnaire was firstly started on 14th of June to
27th of June 2015. It was distributed to 60 professional engineers working in various industrial
of questions derived from the Target Situation Analysis model developed by Hutchinson &
Waters (1987).

mentioned four study programs at UPI Bandung, (b) four mentioned study program managers,
(c) one chosen engineering student drawn from the sample, (d) one professional engineer drawn
from the sample. The interviews with each group of respondents had its own objectives. The
results of the interview can be seen in chapter IV. Meanwhile the guideline and transcripts of the
Muhammad Aditya Gilang Ramadhan, 2015
The interview with the ESP teachers was conducted on the 16th, 22nd, 24th of June 2015.
The objectives were to find information that was required to complete the framework of Target
Situation Analysis as well as to triangulate information regarding Present Situation described by
the students.
The interview with the four study program managers was conducted between 23rd and
29th of June 2015. The objectives were to identify: 1. The vision and mission of the ESP course,
2. The ESP teachers, 3. The facilities for the course, 4. The urgent English language needs of the
students.
Meanwhile, the interview with one engineering student was conducted on the 23rd of June
2015. The interview with this student was projected to add extra information in interpreting the
data obtained from questionnaire.
Finally, the interview with the alumni (professional engineer) was conducted on the 27th
of June 2015. Similar with the objective of the interview held with one of engineering students,
the interview with one of professional engineers was also targeted to provide additional
information on the questionnaire results.

3.6. Data analysis
Data analysis is one of the most important steps in research (Leech and Onwuegbuzie,
2007, p. 562). The interviews of the present study followed the seven steps of interview
investigations proposed by Kvale (1996, p. 88) consisting of thematizing, designing,
interviewing, transcribing, analyzing, verifying, and reporting. From the closed questionnaire, the respondents’ personal information and suggestions for English courses were summed up. Afterwards, the sum was divided by the number of respondents and multiplied by 100 which
gave the percentage (%) of each item. After being put into percentage, the results were
displayed, described, and interpreted.
Meanwhile, data concerning English needs were in the scale from 1 (least important) to 5
(most important) as illustrated below in table 3.2. The results of the participants’ needs in
English were summed up and then divided by the number of respondents to gain the mean (x).
The mean (x) helped indicate the students’ needs in English where a higher mean (x) indicates
higher needs whereas a lower mean (x) indicates lower needs. Data from questionnaire
concerning the English needs were then displayed, described, and interpreted. The RensisLikert’s scale (as cited in Khaemkaw, 2009, p.28) employed in the present study is as follows:
Figure 3.5.RensisLikert’s scale

5 Most Important
4 Important
3 Moderate
2 Slightly important
Muhammad Aditya Gilang Ramadhan, 2015 3.7. Validity
The present study employs triangulation by collaborating two data collection methods to
triangulate results, p. interview and questionnaire. This is in line with Denzin (as cited in Flick,
2002, p. 226) and Oliver-Hoyo& Allen (2006) that triangulation involves the employment of
multiple data collection methods. Furthermore, triangulation is important in improving the
inflexibility of an analysis (Guba, 1985). Another validity test conducted in the present study is
members check. According to Alwasilah (2012, p. 178), members check is conducted to avoid
misinterpretation that a researcher makes. In addition, it helps establish the accuracy of the
findings (Ivankova & Cresswell, 2009, p. 191).
Furthermore, to ensure the validity of the questionnaire, the researcher asked for
feedback, critics, comments, and suggestions. According to Alwasilah (2009, p.176), feedback,
critics, comments, and suggestions are required to identify threats towards validity. All the inputs
gave contribution in designing the questionnaire for the research. The input for the present study
was received from a senior lecturer of the English department at UPI who was the expert of EFL
curriculum enterprise, ten engineering students and a number of doctorate researches.
3.8. Credibility
Similar with quantitative studies, in qualitative study, data validation is important as it
justify the truth and honesty of a description, conclusion, explanation, and interpretation of a
research report (Alwasilah, 2012, p.125). Assessing validity of the research can be constructed
from its description, interpretation, theory, and generalization (Maxwell, 1996 as cited in
Alwasilah, 2012). Even though validity and reliability is equally important in asserting the
quality of the study, in qualitative paradigm these two concepts are better to be represented by
credibility, Neutrality or Conformability, Consistency or Dependability and Applicability or
transferability (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). Thus, to enhance each and every research quality
a. Triangulation
Triangulation is a technique in collecting and analyzing the data which are derived from
multiple data sources aiming to minimize bias on data presentation of the study (Alwasilah,
2012, p.130). In this study, the particular strategy was used to enhance the data credibility by
collaborating multiple data sources from interviews and questionnaire. Therefore, rich data in
data collection and analysis could be beneficial in assuring a high quality conclusion.
b. Iterative questioning.
Iterative question is among the credibility assurance techniques involving the use of
probes to elicit detailed data in which the researcher returns to matters previously raised by an
informant and extracts related data through rephrased questions (Shenton, 2004, p. 65). Further it
is stated that through iterative questioning falsehoods can be detected and the researcher may
decide to discard the suspected data (Shenton (2004). Thus, this study included redirecting the
same question in different forms to check the contradiction that occurred in each and every
interview session held with the respondents.
c. Member Checks, Feedbacks, and Audit
Member check plays very important role to minimize missed-interpretation of behaviors,
answers, and perspectives of the respondents (Alwasillah, 2012, p. 132). While feedbacks and
audit are useful to gain various point of views from debriefer as peer examination or review
toward the study. In order to enhance data credibility, the researcher will review the findings to
the respondents, the supervisor, and debriefer in order to get valuable feedbacks for the study
(Alwasillah, 2012, p. 132). Thus, this study employed this technique to ensure that what the
respondent had said in the interview session was the exact perspective he/she believed.
3.9. Transferability
Transferability reflects the responsibility of the investigator in ensuring that sufficient
contextual information about the fieldwork sites is provided for the readers (Lincoln & Guba,
1985; Firestone, 1993; Shenton, 2004, p.65). Thus, as what has been pointed by Shenton (2004)
Muhammad Aditya Gilang Ramadhan, 2015
a) The number of organizations taking part in the study and where they are based;
b) Any restrictions in the type of people who contributed data;
c) The number of participants involved in the fieldwork;
d) The data collection methods that were employed;
e) The number and length of the data collection sessions;
f) The time period over which the data was collected.
3.10. Dependability
Similar with the term reliability in quantitative research, dependability is projected to provide a “prototype model” to which other researcher then can follow (Shenton, 2004). Therefore, as suggested by Shenton (2004), this study also provided detail information regarding
a) The research design and its implementation, describing what was planned and executed
on a strategic level;
b) The operational detail of data gathering, addressing the minutiae of what was done in the
field;
c) Reflective appraisal of the project, evaluating the effectiveness of the process of inquiry
undertaken.
3.11. Ethical considerations
Prior to the commencement of the study, permission to conduct the research was obtained
from Indonesia University of Education and from respondents themselves. The voluntary nature
of participation was made as explicit as possible to the target learners, professional engineers,
ESP teachers and the study program managers through the process of informed consent.
Moreover, during the interview, they were not required to answer any questions they found uncomfortable. The participants’ confidentiality was further assured through the use of pseudonyms and by removing any identifying information from the research report. Lastly, the
video/tape recordings were only seen and heard by the researcher himself which was kept in a
locked hard disk upon the completion of the study and will then be destroyed after a period of
3.12. Conclusion
This chapter has discussed the methodology of the present study. The chapter covered the
method of the study, the participants of the study, data collection, data analysis, and the validity
strategies. The present study employed a triangulation design taken from the mixmethods
paradigm to describe the English needs of non-education engineering students. The participants
of the research consisting of respondents from Building, Architecture, Electrical and Mechanical
engineering study program that included 120 engineering students, 60 professional engineers, 4
assigned ESP teachers and four study program managers. For data analysis, the results of
questionnaire were analyzed based on a Likert’s scale, meanwhile; data from interview were
analyzed interpretively. To ensure the validity of the questionnaire, the present study employed

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter firstly, presents broad conclusion of the study regarding the English needs of
engineering community in UniversitasPendidikan Indonesia. Then, the next part provides
implication and recommendation of the study. Finally, limitation and implication for further
research are stated at the end of the chapter.
5.1. Conclusion of the Study
This Needs Analysis thesis is an attempt to describe the perceptions possessed by
undergraduate non-educational engineering stakeholders; students, teachers, alumni and study
program managers towards the English language needs of engineering community at Indonesia
University of Education (UPI). The study focuses on the target practitioners; subject and
language teachers, academic administrators, to minimize the discrepancy created by the absence
of Needs Analysis which is identified to not only endanger the nature of the course but also form
mischief regarding the language skills needed, appropriate teaching methods and suitable
resources.
This study aimed to look at the research findings from multiple perspectives by
triangulating both quantitative and qualitative findings in an attempt to answer the study research
questions related to the present and target situation advised by Hutchinson and Waters (1987). In
relation to engineering community’s Present situation at UPI Bandung, the results demonstrate
that the present situation of the target community was complex. Firstly, the participant students
demonstrated similarities and differences in attitudes, motivation and beliefs towards English
language use. Secondly, they also demonstrated varieties of learning styles (most students
appeared to be dependent-learners) and level of English language proficiency. Most of these
students came with inadequate knowledge of the target language, a fact which was indicated by
Furthermore the participant students have also called for a broad ESP course to be
implemented on the target discipline. It was realized by the suggestion regarding the
balanced-combination between General and Specific English in the classrooms. With such views, the
students desire a flexible ESP syllabus, which provides practice in both the receptive and
productive skills, but greater focus on speaking and reading in academic as well as speaking and
listening in target career situation, preferably implemented by a bilingual teacher who promotes
50%-75% use of English. Besides the fact that the students expressed unsatisfactory towards the
frequency of ESP course in the curriculum, the course still lacks of relevant materials, tasks and
teaching methods.
The findings of this research question also offer a perspective from which to identify the
engineering students’ target situation. First of all, English is considered as an important tool of
communication in engineering community. It is also important to note that the importance of this
language varied from one situation to another. Here, in academic encounter, English was
perceived as the main tool of acquiring related-field knowledge through the activities of reading
source books, whereas, in target career situation, it was manly dominated by the needs of
communicating with foreign colleagues or customers. Even though the needs of English were
very demanding, the use of it in Indonesian target career situation was identified to occur very
rarely.
5.2. Implication and Recommendations
From the study findings, there are three main points that can be highlighted. Firstly, the
discrepancy among respondents perspective and purposes identified in this study should be
handled by translating students perceived needs into pedagogic term which then be combined
with the description from other stakeholders. In other words, when designing the English
language course, ESP teachers should consider learners needs and guidance from the resource
groups as advised by many ESP theorists. This way, the outcomes of the course can be more
Muhammad Aditya Gilang Ramadhan, 2015
Secondly, despite the low frequency of the use of English in Indonesian engineering
context, it is suggested that English language should be used extensively in engineering contexts
and considered as the main tool of communication to carry out a variety of different academic
and target career activities. Thus, they should also match what the students learn with what they
will face in their academic and professional domains. It can be achieved by placing the focus of
language teaching on active group learning so that learners can be more easily exposed to target
language use.
Lastly, looking at the teachers’ qualification and resources, the findings of this study are
strongly advised to be used as the first layer of foundation for any decision making related to the
process of designing syllabus. Therefore, well-structured ESP courses can offer much more
reliable outcomes and expectation.
5.3. Limitations and Suggestion for Further Research
The major limitation of this research is common to all fundamental researches which
focus on firstly describing issues in the contextual situation. Thus, the further studies can
complete the development by conducting Needs Analysis for every sub community of
engineering as well as proposing the suggested syllabus, since it is known that every student is
unique, and what is desirable or challenging to one person might not be the same to others.
Furthermore, to understand and evaluate the use of English in the sciences, there is a need for
more focused investigation of each discipline’s language requirements as this study has only
investigated the general needs of four departments (non-education Building, Electrical,
Architecture and Mechanical engineering). Thus the findings might not be generalized since the
study is fundamentally concerned with one faculty. In relation to the limited information
gathered from engineering students, it can be said that more evidence is needed to establish their
wants, lacks and necessities. Finally the process of conducting the instruments employed in the
study was also another limitation. The instruments of this study were restricted only to the use of
questionnaire and interview. Therefore, it is expected that the future study can enrich the
knowledge through classroom observation and the use of proficiency test which enable the more
