Abstract

The intent of this paper is to call ESP program initiator and instructors for a special attention to the needs of the program participants as the key to success of the program. This paper is based on a research that portrayed the implementation of a four-semester English training program for non-English Department students in Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto and confronted the result with the needs of the program participants. The research used the Goal-Free Evaluation model, where as its label suggests, the focus is what is going on in a program, ignoring the program goal pre-stated by the program initiator. The research has concluded that the English instruction program has not exactly matched the participants' needs, which implied failure in the context of ESP.
