Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This paper presents the findings of a study aimed at assessing student perception of grammar within English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. A questionnaire specifically tailored to the study’s objectives was distributed to respondents. The study divided respondents into two groups, one from the Faculty of Economics and the other from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Banja Luka. The results suggest that, on average, respondents expressed satisfaction with ESP classes and held a positive perception of grammar as a specific aspect of ESP. The study concluded that ESP teachers’ adaptability to students’ needs can lead to overall satisfaction with ESP classes, irrespective of the field of study. However, students’ field of study and their specific needs can influence their perception of grammar within ESP. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring ESP courses to address students’ unique linguistic requirements within their academic discipline.
