This study examines the effectiveness of ESP course for Business Administration at Community College of Jazan University in Saudi Arabia. In other words, this article aims at creating a new route to effective ESP teaching-learning curriculum techniques in the tertiary context considering learners' specific needs in the field of Business Studies with a view to developing future professional leadership. The authors of this paper ventured to study the predicament of ESP course at Community College of Jazan University through survey questionnaires, observation as well as primary and secondary sources. The data were collected through questionnaires from a total of 20 ESP teachers at English Language Centre (ELC), and Jazan Community College (JCC). The research results revealed that the existing ESP Course syllabus is not tailored appropriately according to the students' needs in the workplace. It, therefore, suggests that ESP Course should be redesigned in assimilating the learners' real needs in the job field and teacher-centred traditional ESP classes need to be replaced by the learner-centred task-based language teaching (TBLT) and communicative approach as a teaching technique. The study also concludes with some effective implications and recommendations based on the findings of the research analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
