Abstract

Guided by the theory of needs analysis, the ESP course set in five private universities which start application-oriented transformation in Fuzhou and the needs of students, teachers and employers for the course are investigated through questionnaires and interviews. It is found that the implementation of ESP is different and there is no uniform standard; the teaching methods are relatively out-of-date and the sources of teaching materials are single; qualified teachers are in short supplied. In order to better implement ESP teaching, it is necessary to improve teaching methods so as to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, strengthen the construction of ESP teaching methods, and optimize the structure of teachers.
