Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is one of the predominant approaches to language teaching in tertiary education, since it is directed towards the specific
needs of the particular specialty students. The aim of the present study is to report the results of an academic English needs analysis carried out at the State Islamic
University, Malang (SIUM) Indonesia through two different majors, Islamic banking and management department. Through the implementation of a needs analysis questionnaire in ESP classes the felt academic needs of learners in terms of skills and sub-skills are specified. The results of the survey revealed that 24 (60%) respondents needed English for higher education. Twenty respondents (50%) claimed that they
needed speaking as the priority for their future career. In addition, the students’ preferred learning indicated that pair work/group work, games and projects were more innovative learning. The paper concluded with some pedagogical implications to improve and develop ESP course material and methodology.
