“…Students, who had the required levels of proficiency, could be allowed straight into the academic mainstream at first year level, and immediately be allowed to study EOP. Carver (1983) agrees that admission requirements to ESP should be set, because students with low levels of English proficiency simply cannot master content activities.…”

The demand for English for Occupational Purposes (EOP) is growing proportionally to the universal demand for employees, who can function in the lingua franca, English, in their fields of specialisation. Therefore, the training of students at universities of technology, which aim to produce graduates who can perform successfully upon entry into the occupational world, should include the teaching and learning of EOP. This study set out to determine how best to develop EOP curricula, using wants and needs analyses, including all stakeholders at a university of technology, and adopting a case study approach. There was particular focus on: the students, since EOP is learner-centred; the authenticity of learning materials per field of specialisation; and, collaboration between language services-rendering and language services-requesting departments. The main conclusions drawn were that English proficiency plays a central role in the success of learning EOP, and direct feedback from industry on student wants and needs emerged as essential in curriculum planning.

“…Learning objectives were also expressed by Graham & Beardsley (1986) and learning centeredness (Carter, 1983;Hutchinson & Waters, 1987) as an integral part of ESP. Thus, it can be said that ESP, from the beginning, focuses on student-centered learning, a situation that is certainly incompatible with traditional general English courses.…”

“…This study agrees with this premise, but argues that grammar still plays an important role in ESP courses. Carter (1983) believes that self-direction is important in the sense that the ESP course deals with turning learners into language users. So ESP plays an integral role in communicative language teaching.…”

Bilingusiam has become necessary because of international travel, mass media, immigration and the global economy. Baker (2006) argues that bilinguals are present in every country, in every social class and in all age groups. Research of English as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesia within the framework of bilingualism can be challenging. This study addressed the students' perspectives on the issue of bilingual-based materials of teaching in English for educational technology through the students' perspective to improve the educational program in the future. The results show that the majority of students had a positive perspective toward the implementation of bilingual-based materials in their English language courses and believed the materials were appropriate and easy to understand.
