It focused on their skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. By combining numbers and personal stories, the research assesses how well students are doing and what struggles they face in communicating in school and work. The findings showed that while all areas need work, speaking was the most important skill to improve. Students struggle with confidence, fluency, and formal conversation. Writing was also a challenge, especially when it comes to creating formal documents for administrative tasks. In interviews, students shared that they don’t get enough practice with structured speaking and often find it hard to use communication techniques well. Based on these insights, a new English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program is suggested. This program would include hands-on training, real-life examples, and focused learning on public administration topics. The goal was to help students communicate better in their fields, setting them up for success in both school and their careers.
