Dewangan [googlescholar] => [doi] => [year] => 2025 [month] => May [volume] => 11 [issue] => 5 [file] => fm/jpanel/upload/2025/June/202505-01-022014.pdf [abstract] => As a result of globalization, communication skills in English have become increasingly important. To meet organizational expectations, one must be able to communicate effectively in a variety of professions, including aviation, nursing, medicine, hotel management, business management, engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, etc. Due to the abundance of work options, engineering degrees are in high demand among many other areas. Professional engineers and students alike must develop their presentation skills, attend interviews, create resumes and CVs, write business letters, write technical reports, and more. The majority of the time, employers are dissatisfied with their workers' communication abilities. This occurs as a result of English being taught and learned for General Purposes (EGP) from elementary school through junior college. The demands of the employer cannot be met by advanced EGP learning. At a higher level of education, it is therefore recognized that language proficiency should be developed within the framework of "English for Specific Purposes" (ESP). It is really necessary to concentrate more on enhancing the particular abilities needed for the workplace. These requirements can be met using the ESP technique. The learner-centered approach is used to teach ESP. In order to help engineering students have a bright future, this study aims to clarify the significance and applicability of ESP.
