ABSTRACT

This study aims to find out university students' needs to develop the general English (GE) curriculum on the basis of students' needs. 845 students taking GE courses at one college, which is renowned for the departments of health and is divided into health and non-health majors, were asked to respond to the survey. The results showed that college students' needs were characterized by proficiency-based and ESP-oriented curriculum. There were differences between the health and the non-health majors in their needs in terms of the language of instruction, class hours of the week, and the English proficiency certification test for graduation, with the first two showing significant differences. Based on the results, some considerations for the curriculum development were mentioned.
