Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The paper explores the language challenges faced by polytechnic students and highlights the role of English for Specific Purposes in addressing the language challenges faced by students. The increasing demand for technical and vocational education has highlighted the urgent need for students to possess effective communication skills in English, a global language in the labor market. Unfortunately, many polytechnic undergraduates struggle with language-related issues that hinder their academic and professional progress. This paper, therefore, examines the language challenges faced by polytechnic undergraduates, the benefits of ESP on addressing these challenges and its integration into the polytechnic curricula, impacting students’ language skills and employability.
