takeout the English analysis is required language for medical professionals and in order to
suggest a needs-oriented course to meet their professional requirements. Insights from the
literature of English for specified purposes (ESP) and English for occupational purposes are

INTRODUCTION
Other foreign languages have flourished around the world, but English continues to play an
important role in education and the professional sector all over the world. In Pakistan,
English has been designated as a Langue Franca and an official language. It has evolved
into the language of science, technology, and the media. However, in today's world,
learning English is an ability that is acquired in response to the needs of a particular field or
occupation. ESP is the term for this form of learning (English for specific purpose). If you
want to narrow it down to a particular profession, it's called EMP (English for Medical
Purpose), which is a sub-type of ESP and an important part of this research. Every piece of
medical literature in Pakistan is written in English. In the medical sector, English is required
for academic purposes such as reading books, searching for information on the internet,
giving presentations, taking exams, interacting with teachers, and pursuing further studies
Kang (2004) stated that learning English is essential for medical professionals since
all medical knowledge is available in the English language. According to Kurfurst (2004)
information present in books, articles, documents and journals are in English language. In
addition, it is necessary for their training and upcoming medical careers. However, English
for medical purpose (EMP) became essential. EMP is a kind of ESP which is important for
academic and professional needs of medical students. Niazi (2012) remarked that English
has got an unquestionable status in medical settings of Pakistan. There are many academic
and professional settings relying on English as far as Pakistani medical situation is
concerned. In Pakistan, the medical students have strong needs to learn EMP.
The aim of this study is to look at the English language needs of medical students
and the challenges they face due to a language barrier. For this reason, the researcher will
analyse the needs of medical professionals in Mirpur, AJK, from the perspective of doctors.
English is the language of all medical textbooks and so there is a desire need to learn basic
skills of English language for EMP. ESP specified need analysis strategy will be used in
this study to determine the communicative needs of medical professionals by the researcher.
Many professions need research, making it an important job skill. Your projects can be
guided by your research objectives, which are particular results you hope to attain via your
study, and they can assist you in achieving your overall aims. Knowing how to create
research objectives is a critical ability if your job entails conducting research. In a research

situation are typically listed in a problem statement along with an explanation of why that is
significant. Additionally, it serves as an effective networking tool that facilitates the acquisition
of support and buy-in. The problem statement is a thorough study of a problem that needs to be
solved or of a situation that needs to be improved. It draws attention to the distance between the
problematic condition of a process or product and the desired shape (target). Understanding a

officers in the professional and vocational setting, English is required for conferences, seminars,
meetings, communication with overseas patients, and research publications. The research looks
at the English language demands of medical officers and creates a course for them based on their
course. The study uses course design approach and ESP defined requirements analysis to assess
the medical officers' communicating needs. As for as this research problem is concern, I am

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
A thesis's beginning often includes information on the study's importance. You strive to
persuade a reader why the study is worthwhile in this part, which is also known as the
"rationale" or "justification" It should specify who gains from the study and how the results
will assist that particular audience. The following two questions might easily represent the
importance of the study: Why ought to my research be published? What important advances
in science does my work make in my area of study? Importantly, the study's relevance
the study's importance outlines the necessity of the research. It serves as a defence of the
significance of your work, the influence it has on your study area, its contribution to new
knowledge, and how it will help others. The reader has to understand the study's importance
and justification in order for them to understand why the research was significant. This may
be a professor reviewing your manuscript for peer review, a thesis examiner evaluating your
work, a grant reader reading your grant application, or a different research team reading
your journal article that has already been published. The reader should be able to understand
from your academic writing the importance, value, and contribution of the study you
conducted.The study's relevance is essentially how important your research is. The
relevance of your study must demonstrate how it will advance both the cause of your
research and society at large. You must include an explanation for the relevance of your

LITERATURE REVIEW
Academic books, journals, and other resources relevant to a particular subject of study are
examined in the literature review. This preceding study should be cited, summarised,
objectively assessed, and made clear in the review. It must give the study a theoretical
foundation and let you (the writer) define its parameters. The literature review ensures the
reader that your work has been carefully thought out by recognising the contributions of
earlier scholars. When previous research in the topic is brought up, it is expected possessed
by the author, the study was evaluated and incorporated into the present work. A literature
review gives the reader a complete grasp of the advancements in the subject by providing a
"landscape" for them. The reader may tell from this environment that the author has really
incorporated all (or the great majority) of earlier, important works in the topic into their
own work.
We could go on and on about how literature evaluations continually feed fresh research,
which, then continually feeds reviews of literature. The fact that one exerts a power over the
other causes science, a field that spans the globe, to continuously advance and change.
Writing a literature review can help further your career as a scientist and distinguish you
from the field's top experts. Yet, it might also be a challenging task, so don't hesitate to get

The goal of this research is to figure out what English language learners in Pakistan need in
terms of communicative, intellectual and professional skills. For this reason, the researchers
used closed-ended questioners and concluded that medical learners' English language skills
are insufficient to match their linguistic demands, and that English is therefore highly
essential. Because the quantity of English taught prior to enrolling in medical school is
insufficient to fulfil the academic and professional demands of medical students. (Niazi M.
M., 2012)
Even though the ESP method is commonly employed written in English programmes in
Saudi Arab, the medical industry poses a barrier because English is the primary means of
communication in the medical field. The study’s goals were discovered communication

reading and listening) were valued higher than productive skills (speaking and writing). The
proportions of receptive and productive time skills, however, were tool close enough to say

syllabus were insufficient in linking English language use to their medical demands.

were used to assess if the course helped students improve their English achievement. This
programme benefits relevant pupils, particularly lower-level students, according to the results of
the exam. The English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curriculum, contrary to popular opinion, is
primarily geared at students who desire to learn the fundamentals of English through mediated
courses. Students' motivation and interest in the course are stronger than students who do not
have a specific goal for studying for their major courses because they already have one. As a
result of the higher test scores than before they attended the English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
programme, the study reveals that students who took English for Specific Purposes (ESP) had
higher interest and desire in studying English linked to their major courses. (Shin, 2005)
Many scholars are attempting to compile a list of key collocations for EAP students. These
approaches, however, are missing in positionally variable collocations and do not adequately
account for variance among fields. In this article, the authors attempt to describe the process of
creating a single listing of both. A number of key findings emerge. For starters, cross-
disciplinary collocations are not the same as the collocations that most academics have
previously concentrated on. Students in the arts and humanities have distinct academic word lists
In last few years, English's position as a global language has grown up, the number of
learners of English has increased rapidly, but in past, many learners learned as a culture or
hobby, but nowadays, the number of learners with a clear purpose of English learning is
increasing. Therefore, English for Specific Purposes has become necessary to meet
individual purposes and needs. In Sugino Fashion College, there are many students in
communication, rather than traditional English with a focus on literature and reading
only. However, what kind of purpose and expectation the students have for learning
English, what kind of activities can make the best use of their purpose, what kind of
activities That question arose as to how different it was from the needs and how effective
the activities used for the student were. In order to answer those research issues, we will

reactions to the course module. Materials and Method: This was a descriptive and
experimental study. ln addition to typical classroom learning taking place in person, the
course was taught utilising the Drupal Platform and Web 2.0 tools. 45 significant students
were interviewed, and a survey was administered of 140 medical students were used to
assess EMP needs.Content analysis was used to examine the qualitative data from the
interview, while using descriptive statistics to analyse the quantitative data from the
questionnaire survey (standard deviation, percentage, and mean). The before and after test
scores were analysed for course evaluation by comparing the mean scores of the pre-test
and post-test using the t-test. Findings: Experts verified the Course Module for Blended

With the overall trend toward globalisation and the growth of worldwide medical
advancement and healthcare specialty in recent years, English language proficiency has
become a need for successful communication. ESP course design should, therefore, begin
by determining the goal situation and the corresponding demands of target learners.
Building a language course around these elements would result in greater practical language
the future. In this study, a target situational requirements analysis was undertaken prior to
the creation of an ESP programme for nursing college students using a triangle strategy to
acquire reliable information from various sources and methodologies (Long, 2005). by
This study looked at the tools for studying maritime English required by students in the

Maritime Academy cadets were among those who took part in the study. There were
roughly 48 people in all. They were chosen using a technique known as purposeful random
sampling. Questionnaire, documentation sheet, and interview were the three types of data
collection instruments used. The study's findings revealed that 1) there were three major

This study looks into the satisfaction levels of military cadets with existing English
programmes, their opinions on the necessity for general English programmes, English for
special (ESP), and occupational (EOP) objectives, and their projected usage of English
skills for specific duties following commissioning. An evaluation of needs was conducted
completed by 903 cadets, and 43 cadets participated in focus group interviews. The findings
of the ANOVA analysis revealed that younger cadets were more satisfied with existing
English programmes and agreed that ESP or EOP programmes were necessary. At a
statistically significant level, cadets in language majors expressed greater satisfaction with
the existing English curriculum. After the commission, English proficiency in both writing
and speaking would be essential, according to the high group in self-rated English
abilities. The cadets were dissatisfied with levelling and inflexible teaching approaches in
courses, according to the focus group interviews. Change efforts are needed, particularly in
the areas of suitable levelling, faculty development, and extracurricular English activities.

The necessity of offering English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses to Taiwanese nursing
professionals has increased in recent years. This study's goals are to better understand
nurses' English needs and concerns in clinical nursing practise and to assess nurses'
perceptions of ESP courses that have been made available to them, with a particular
emphasis on whether those courses accurately reflect the nurses' actual English demands
and challenges. This study uses a qualitative strategy, drawing on data from two groups of
participants: nine nurses who participated in interviews and ten the nurses that were seen at
work. These nurses were all employed at a prestigious Taiwanese hospital with an
international care centre. The results showed that the participants needed strong English
high-quality nursing care. They did, however, struggle with English vocabulary,
pronunciation, and accent, and they developed negative coping strategies to deal with these
concerns. ESP classes were deemed unsuccessful by the nurses, despite the fact that they
were beneficial, because the content did not meet their linguistic needs or difficulties.(Lu,

future careers as professionals in the workplace has to be given a lot of attention. The
investigation of the 36 STIKes Prima Jambi midwifery students' learning requirements and
the creation of ESP materials for midwives are the two main objectives of the project. The
examination of learners' particular needs is the most important consideration when building
an ESP course. Other topics covered include setting reasonable goals and objectives,
integrating grammatical functions with addition abilities, and assessing and evaluating
students. However different ESP contexts have different viewpoints on these issues, it is
believed that the proposed framework for ESP course development will benefit teachers
taught in a variety of ways. As a result, university students' English should be taught in the
context of what they require from English. With the premise that students had studied
English for in excess of six years prior to enrolling in college, if they learnt English in
connection to the faculty, it would be more useful and meaningful to them,in they are.

more prevalent relevant in today's Indonesia (Hugo, 1995; Spaan, 1994; Adi, 1995).
International migration flows in Indonesia will continue to rise in the future due to a lack of
job opportunities, a rising average education level in Indonesia, the expansion of mass
media, easy and inexpensive access to overseas countries, and developments in national and
global transportation systems.This research focuses on (ESP), which aims to improve the
quality of Indonesian housekeepers, mainly women, who work in other countries, primarily
Malaysia. We employ an ESP approach rather than a product, which means we don't teach a
certain form of a language, but it may be called upon in a specific occasion. It is intended
that the learners will most likely encounter each other in the target setting (1986:
Hutchinson and Waters). For scientists, ESP is more than just an issue of how both science
people do with language in practise, as well as the variety of skills and knowledge that
enable them to do so.ESP is similar to other language instruction in that it is founded on the
notion of efficient and effective education. The ESP courses give students the ability to use
English for certain fields of study at an advanced level. It also covers syllabus development,
development, and concepts in ESP teaching and learning, as well as curriculum design,
which includes advanced ESP approaches, methodologies, and strategies. This study looks
at the language skills that Indonesian employees need to work with instructional materials
that fulfil their needs. The knowledge gathered on the demands of Indonesian employees is
limited to female workers who want to work overseas, in this case in Malaysia, and do
things like clean and polish wood floors, wash, iron, buy food and other household
essentials, prepare cuisine, and serve meals. This research is expected to provide useful
information to educators who want to create their own materials; the Indonesian community
in Malaysia; and Indonesian domestic employees that desire to improve their standards so
they may travel about in international culture with more freedom. (Lubis, 2011)

students to construct ESP courses. This study was conducted using ethnographic research.
The required data was collected using three ethnographic approaches (questionnaire,
interview, and observation). Students enrolled in three psychology courses at IIUM served
as the study's subjects. The study discovered the following through analysing data from
out-of-classroom contact.

received lower marks, demonstrating that they reflect the students' learning "deficient," and
hence must be included in any ESP course for psychology students. Conversely,
communicative and interactive activities were prioritised over other tasks, necessitating
more attention in course layout. The findings were incorporated into a recommended
structure and module for university-level psychology students designing ESP courses.

In order to inform ESP professionals about current ESP theory and practise in a non-English
speaking country like China, this article provides an overview of the development of
English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching and research in China with a focus on aviation

curriculum creation, the goal of this note is to investigate a suitable strategy to teaching
aviation English in the Chinese setting. This note focuses on a comparison of English and
Chinese aviation language in order to suggest a possible strategy to ESP education that is
more appropriate for the Chinese setting. The student response to the teaching of aviation

teaching exercises in the course that was produced, first to enhance awareness of students of
some of the cognitive and linguistic elements of the discourse, and then to improve students'
performance via practise. The research shows how actual student performance data may be
used to develop a syllabus that is laser-concentrate on the needs of children. (Shi, 2001)
ESP courses are often intended to serve a variety of stakeholders with varying learning
objectives, with the purpose of teaching students how to utilise English in a given subject or
setting. In actuality, however, these courses are frequently criticised for not completely
accomplishing their aims due to participants' unhappiness with their abilities. In order to do
so, the current research looked into the demands and perspectives of graduates and students
in architecture, together with the success of their ESP training. A total of 48 students and 72
graduates completed an evaluation tool created by the researcher. The participants' most
important talent was reading comprehension, followed by writing, speaking, and listening,
according to the data. The participants' Unhappiness with the textbooks, relevant themes,
and course duration was also documented, showing that the courses fell short of
expectations their needs. According to the findings of this study, it appears that present
programmes need to be revised in order to provide Iranian universities should offer more
declared aims, standards, or criteria. This research attempted to assess the ESP medical
textbook, which is used in various Iranian institutions. Two questionnaires made by the
researcher and one interview technique were utilised to gather the relevant data. Iranian
medical teachers as well as students completed a 28-item survey to describe their feelings
about the material, activities, and topics in their ESP textbook. Furthermore, some
individuals of both groups participated in an interview to learn more about the study. They
were made up of both males and females. The findings indicated that the ESP medical
textbook's content and subjects are centred on the demands of the students and teachers.
This study's findings have a variety of consequences for medical educators, students, as well
The goal of this research is to provide a suitable English syllabus for Bina Darma
University's computer science students. the use of Target Situation Analysis (TSA),
Deficiency Analysis (DA), and Strategy Analysis, this research examines the requirements
of pupils (SA). This study employs a descriptive analytic methodology. In this study, 61
students in the second semester of Bina Drama Palembang are a computer science major, as
well as one instructor and the institute's director, were engaged. Questionnaires,
observations and interviews, and document reviews were used to gather data. The results
reveal that speaking and writing skills the most significant. The two basic language abilities
have a crucial influence in the construction of the English syllabus. Furthermore, pupils
require a learning strategy that emphasises practise over theory. To make classroom
activities more entertaining, the learning process must be connected with technology.
Finally, this research suggests a curriculum that should be used in the institution. (Septiana,
2020)
This research looked at the English language requirements of Ethiopian textile companies in
order to better prepare students for careers engineering textile, which is now one of the most
popular subjects at the college level. The information was gathered from six cotton firms
that were chosen at random. Further information was gathered through 156 questionnaires
and interviews with eight general managers, human resource managers, and department
heads about the work done in English and the English language demands of the textile
industry. The findings reveal that many activities in textile organisations are conducted in
English; thus, speaking, reading, and writing skills are required for textile professionals to
function well in their workplaces. As a result, carefully designed ESP courses could help
textile workers enhance language skills based on their needs. (Belachew, 2020)
English has become one of the most commonly spoken languages on the planet. It is
Because of English's worldwide prominence, it should be taught in a way that reflects how
it is used in everyday life. Many methods for teaching English have been used, but
communicative language instruction is one of the most recent (CLT). It is one of the most
effective ways for conversational English instruction. CLT is used in EFL/ESL as well as
ESP classes. In Pakistan, GTM (grammar translation method) is still used, but CLT is not
used since previous methodologies are easier to apply in the classroom. The purpose of this
engineering context at Pakistani colleges. The goal of this paper is to assess CLT's demands
option questions is used as a gathering data instrument. The students are asking 12
questions to find out how they feel about CLT instruction. The study has only included
students as participants. A total of 130 students from Quest University Nawabshah were
chosen from various departments to test students' views and attitudes concerning CLT.
(Mastoi, 2019)
In this case study investigates the influence of the Curriculum for English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) on Chinese graduate’s career experiences. It also explores whether ESP
programmes are more effective in the workplace as opposed to custom English classes, as
well as how the ESP curriculum may be changed to match the demands of current labour
markets. The data was acquired through online conversations with five people who majored
in Chinese colleges with degrees in English. Each and every participant had spent at least a
year working Among nations that speak English. The results imply that Design of the ESP
curriculum, co-ops or internships for related courses, the working environment, and
instructors' individual needs area competence all have a substantial and favourable impact
on employment engagement. Furthermore, the findings of the study imply that Universities
in China should be redesigned or enhance their ESP syllabus to better prepare their learners
Over the past several years, a lot of study has been done on the subject of teaching English
for medical purposes. The English communication skills is necessary for a career in
medicine, just as Greek and Latin were in the past. This is especially true today, when
medical professionals' discourse is becoming more and more open and Russian healthcare
professionals are expected to discuss and research a variety of medical issues abroad.

design. Additionally, a researcher has to know precisely how their research will fit within
the research approach. Let's investigate the definitions of quantitative and qualitative

method of gathering data for meta-analysis and measurement is through the use of visuals,

It is also possible to make a comparison between fixed and flexible study design.
Quantitative (fixed design) and qualitative (flexible design) research design categories for
data collecting are commonly linked. With a predetermined study design, the research
design is already known and understood before any data collection is done. Conversely,
flexible designs offer more latitude in data collecting. For instance, you might not offer

employ sampling techniques. Two organisations within the medical community, doctors
and medical students, provided the data. Eight questionnaires were prepared for this
purpose. A questionnaire was utilised to collect information from physicians and medical
students. This research is being conducted in MohiUd Din medical college Mirpur AJK.

Save money
The price of the study is closely correlated with how many persons a researcher
contact. Sampling helps researchers save money by enabling them to get the same results
Oftentimes, the objective of research is to gather a little amount of data from a huge
number of individuals (e.g., an opinion poll). Sometimes the objective is to gather a lot of
data from a small group of people (e.g., a user study or ethnographic interview). Regardless,
sampling enables researchers to interview subjects in further depth and collect richer data
There are certain study volunteers who are more appropriate for a project's goals
than there are others. Finding volunteers who are suitable for a project's objectives is crucial

Questioners are prepared which are filled from medical officers and medical students of
MohiUd Din medical college. Ten questioners are filled from students and ten are filled
from medical officers. The study's target population included two groups: current MBBS
students and medical officers at MohiUd Din Medical College. A simple mixed methods
sampling approach was used to choose samples, which "involves talking to a random
sample of a small number of students from a considerably larger target group." The
following are the students and medical officials that were chosen from the study population.
All students and medical officers used the same curriculum materials, and all medical
officers graduated from the same institutions and had access to the same resources and
facilities. The goal of the study and the research questions guided the selection of this

Although the term "data gathering" may sound really modern and computerised, this
doesn't mean that big data, the internet, and computers are always involved. Data gathering
might be anything from a telephone survey to a mail-in remark card or even just a bystander
being questioned by a man with a clipboard. But let's try to group the various data collecting
techniques into something like coherent categories.There are two ways of gathering data.As
a side note, many terminologies are interchangeable and rely on who uses them, including
approaches, methods, and types. For example, one source could refer to data collecting
procedures as "methods." Regardless of the names we use, the fundamental ideas and
breakdowns remain the same whether we're discussing a scientific study effort or marketing
analysis.
Primary
These are actual, first-hand data that researchers have collected, as the name
suggests. Prior to conducting any additional or connected study, this procedure is the first
stage in acquiring information. Results from primary data are quite accurate as long as the
researcher gathers the data. However, there is a drawback because in-person research may

A sizable sample of people are surveyed by the researcher, either through in-person
interviews or other forms of mass contact like call or mail. This approach without a doubt,

concerning their phone service. Projective data collection requires respondents to finish an
Delphi Method
Greek mythology describes the Oracle at Delphi as the chief priestess of the temple
of Apollo who offered counsel, prophesies, and wisdom. Researchers utilise the Delphi
method to acquire data by asking a group of experts for their opinions. Each expert
responds to inquiries in their area of expertise, and the responses are combined to form a
single view.
Focus groups are employed often, much like interviews. A moderator gathers the
group, which might number between six and twelve persons, to debate the topic.
Secondary
Information that has already undergone statistical analysis and was gathered from
secondary sources is referred to as secondary data. Either the researcher has done study on
this information or the researcher has asked others to acquire it for them. Simply said, it's
second-hand knowledge.
Despite being secondary data is more accessible and less expensive than primary
information, its legitimacy and veracity are questioned. The majority of secondary data is

have experience of practical professional life. At same time physicians did not level their

field. They disagree because and said that by only reading MBBS syllabus in English
cannot improve their level of English because when they go for any test which is especially
conducted for English purpose, they cannot get good score. So, they mush go through an
English language course to compete in those tests.
DATA ANALYSIS / FINDINGS
The major reason and incentive for learning English language, for medical professional

was utilitarian benefit. Their comments indicatethat they understand the value of English in
their profession. As a result, the vast majority of respondents (almost 70%) stated that they

medical representatives' English skills are becoming increasingly important for their
profession. According to the data, all respondents believe that medical representatives
should master each of the four languages (learning, speaking, reading and writing). Medical
representatives must also acquire many other areas of language (vocabulary, grammar,
contexts because their course although in English but that did not improve their vocabulary,
grammar especially when English is concern. Speaking and writing abilities were ranked as
more significant by all respondents than listening and reading skills, because speaking with

writing skill.Medical representatives, on the other hand, value listening and reading abilities
since they employ them frequently in their professional life when they are planning to move
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
The study's conclusion was based on findings obtained from information supplied by
doctors and medical students. The major objective of the study was to identify the language
needs of medical students and practitioners. For a number of medical reasons, they had to
learn English. They had to deal with a range of obligations in their academic setting,
including understanding lectures and reading books, journals, and periodicals. Similarly, in
medical books. In the international medical community, English has been designated as the
lingua franca.A considerable number of physicians and students from Pakistan travel to
pursue a career and higher education overseas opportunities, mush have to meet specific
English language skills level to pursue it. So that is why most of the participants agree

What role does recommendation have in research?
The most crucial element of the analysis process, recommendations are where you
provide specific treatments or solutions to deal with the problems and limitations found in
One of the main sources of information regarding candidates is the advice of grownups.
All student writing is skewed, but adult judgments are more trustworthy. Teachers and
counsellors are in a good position to assist a candidate since they can make comparisons
Recommendations are used to demand action or provide fixes for the issues your
research report has examined. Your suggestions emphasise certain remedies and actions that
The most crucial element of the analysis process, recommendations are where you
provide specific suggestions for treatments or solutions to deal with the problems and
address the most important conclusions drawn from data gathering and analysis.
Medical students must grow and enhance their English language abilities, grammar, and
vocabulary in light of the findings. As a result, to satisfy the needs of medical students,
should modify and adapt an English course with their MBBS course to meet their
more attention because the time allowed to offered courses is insufficient to let pupils utilise
the language effectively. Because many of student are not agree about an additional course
part of their MBBS syllabus because they already have not much time to cover their
required syllabus and if there is an English as subject taught that become more headache for
many of students of medical profession. So, it should be basic requirement for course
designer and teacher as well to look at it that either there should be pre-course or post-
and sustain medical textbooks, instructors and course designers should take the
implications.Many of participants of this research suggest that another option too which can
improve their English language skills like reading more books, listening English lectures
and watching English moves, speaking with their international colleagues who are working
abroad, but all these suggestions are not sufficient to get them a good English language
speaker or writer. So, course is much better option to get a good command on English
language as a whole.
