Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ English needs in an ESP course. English for specific
purposes has become a significant aspect in the learning process in Indonesian tertiary context.
The significant of occupation requirement globally and the emergence of mastering certain skills
for certain jobs drives the need of English for specific area. Referring to this concern, General
English is considered no longer suitable and it should be specified into several subjects based on
certain purposes. In this case, ESP gives chances for students and teacher to define the target or
the outcomes based on their purposes by considering their needs. Thus, conducting need analysis
is the first, most significant part to be conducted in ESP course. Conducted in a private
university in Indonesia, this study employed descriptive qualitative approach that used
questionnaire and focus group discussion to collect the data. This study is a representation of
teaching reflection after conducting 6-month ESP class. The results showed that since the
students are enrolled in Communication Science Department, they need material that
encourages them to communicate and participate actively in the classroom, refers to their major
and reflects occupation-oriented material. The materials that distinguish this subject from others
emphasize the specification of ESP class and show that the material used cannot be generalized.
Therefore, the teacher should consider these results to prepare for the next ESP course.
