Abstract

What someone learns is something that makes them curious. Curiosity builds interest and learning something based on interest is pleasant. Such feeling is necessary for teaching-learning activity to achieve the objectives of the lesson. Bringing to the context of teaching English as Foreign Language (EFL), a question is proposed. Do computer science students always talk about computers and technology even in English class? Based on the existing literature on English for Specific Purpose (ESP), EFL students will be given material lessons based on their field of study. But, are they happy with it? Are they not bored to talk about similar topics in every situation? Or should we make some changes to adjust the material of ESP to their interest? How about their need to learn English? This section will bring you to another view of understanding students' interests in the aim of preparing material lessons in English class. By combining it with psycholinguistics, it is expected that the discussion provides an understanding to renovate the objectives of the lesson as well as the material lesson in English class, especially for teaching EFL in higher education.
