Abstract
The aim of this study was to design English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course
for University students enrolled in the Computer Science Department. For this
purpose, academic English language needs of the students were analyzed by
using a 5 point Likert scale questionnaire. Additionally, interviews were also
conducted with four faculty members of the department and the data were analyzed
qualitatively. Thus, mixed methods were used for collection and analyses of data.
The results of the analysis of questionnaire and interviews indicate that the four
language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing are frequently used
in students’ academic context and among the four, speaking is the most frequently
used skill. Students are deficient in writing and speaking skills as compared to
listening and reading; therefore, speaking and writing should be given preference
while designing the syllabus
