Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the English learning needs of the 229 surveyed Sophomore-year Non-English major students in a Technology University in Taiwan through gathering their opinions or attitudes toward English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The instrument used for the survey is a questionnaire based on literature review. The results of this study has revealed that: (1) the ESP instruction at issue should focus on communication skills; (2) ESP instructors should enhance their English-teaching competency and subject content knowledge; (3) Increasing learning motivation is also one of the crucial factors that contribute to the success of an ESP course; (4) ESP instructors have to remain flexible and always engage themselves in continuing professional ESP teaching developments in; (5) ESP instructors had better work in cooperation with the experts or professional from the related ESP fields.
