CHIEF ROLANDO MAGLALANG


Head, Security Department
University of the East-Manila

Sir,

Greetings!

We are Bachelor of Arts major in English students taking up the subject English for Specific Purposes in the University in the East. In
this subject, we are learning and practicing how to design English language programs for a specific profession or workplace.

We have chosen your professionals (security personnel) to undergo trainings with us because our program will really improve their
communication and speaking skills when it comes to implementing and informing the rules; the security personnel will be more
competent and competitive.

The program is designed to project the communication skills, especially the speaking skills of the security guards to a higher level.

By improving the security personnel’s communication and speaking skills, the philosophy of your department will be achieved. The
speaking skills of the security personnel will be enhanced so they can handle students better and security and safety inside the
university is reassured.

We hope that by reading this proposal letter, you have felt interested in taking advantage of the offer of English for Specific Purposes
(ESP) program. Feel free to contact anyone of us through the contact details listed below.

Godspeed!

Needs Analysis of Security Guards of the University of the East
Most of the security guards are aged 40 and above. They have been working as security guards for around 15-20 years.
Some of them are from the province which means that they L1 as the local dialect, and Filipino as L2, making English as L3
already.
They learned the English language in school. This is supposed to be 15-20 years ago.
None of them have attended an ESP course. Most of them have not attended any training or professional development on
their language abilities.
The fluency in English language is not a very important requisite in their job. But, they believe it is an asset if they achieve
fluency in the English language. They also believe that improvement in their abilities to use the English language is part of
professional development. It can be assumed from the needs assessments done on them that they are willing to undergo series of
training to improve their abilities.
They are required to speak in English when reporting to high officials of the University and when talking to international
students.
All the security guards engage in a conversation with each of the choices provided in the questionnaire which are: native
speakers from US, UK, native speakers other than US, UK, non-native speakers from the Philippines, non-native speakers other than
from the Philippines, visitors and international students (foreigners).
The results of their ratings to themselves proved to be as close as possible to the ratings of their colleagues.
In their job requirements, speaking and listening skills are the most important skills for them.
Since those two skills are the most important and the most practiced skills in their jobs, they think that these are there best
skills but they also think that these skills still need to be improved.
With regards to their daily living and communication with others, these two skills are still the skills they feel they are best or
commendable at.
Varying difficulties are mentioned by the respondents in the questionnaires. The most mentioned difficulty is when speaking, they ran
out of words. One reason behind these difficulties is lack of vocabulary. Another is their lack of confidence or nervousness.
Different topics were also cited by the respondents. As much as possible, the ESP program designed covers the most cited
topics indicated by the respondents in the questionnaire.
