Abstract

This research is aimed at finding out the target needs, in terms of necessities and lacks, relevant to engineering work context, and investigating the learning needs as the route to meet the target needs. A cross-sectional survey as research design was employed. The data were gained from the semi-structured interview to three representatives of English lecturers for engineering and the questionnaire to ninety fourth-year engineering students in the Faculty of Engineering in one of universities in Bandung. The results reveal that engineering students’ English proficiency has not met the target needs provoked by the majority lacks of communication skill, particularly speaking fluently and giving an oral presentation. With this in mind, some preferred-learning needs to overcome the lacks are the significance use of a good combination material, the use of internet as a media, working in a small group and in pair as learning partner, having a simulation related to engineering work context, problem solving, and an oral presentation.
