When ESP Materials Need Improvement

English Materials and Their Relevance to the Needs of Pharmacy Students 
(A Case Study at a School of Pharmacy in Bandung – Indonesia)

This article brought an insight to me about an ESP implementations. Through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis, the researcher looked for the students’ need and expectation beside things need to improve. He found that the syllabus met the needs of the students, however, the material needed improvement. Of four language skills analyzed, she found out that speaking was the most needed skill, even though the students stated that they still had problem within all skills. In addition, there were some in materials the teacher prepared were not relevant with the students’ need, even far from their subject. This showed that ESP materials need an improvement to help students learn something valuable even though it is just for a short term. I am now more interested to look for other areas of ESP to see how things work in the classroom. Are the students really learning English that will be used in their job in the future?
