Meeting the Needs and the Requirements of Future Engineers via a Consistent ESP Course.

This study attempts to investigate future engineers’ perception towards the ESP course provided in the National Polytechnic School of Constantine. To reach this objective, students’ needs and the existing ESP teaching situation were examined via a learners’ needs analysis questionnaire and an ESP teachers’ interviews to sort out the difficulties that slow down the effective teaching/ learning process. Data analysis revealed the utility of ESP course during students’ academic training and in their future job. As speaking and listening were proved to be the mostly needed skills, some beneficial strategies are suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
