In designing an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course, a variety of issues such as learners’ needs, appropriate language skills, or specific content knowledge should be considered. The purpose of the study was to identify the professional language needs in health-care settings by examining the perceptions of professors and students on the language skills required in nursing education. A needs assessment was carried out with nursing students and faculty members in the Department of Nursing, which prepared students for careers in the health care field such as hospitals, medical service providers, or public health organizations. Data were gathered by means of questionnaires and interviews. The findings of the study were characterized as three meaningful domains: (a) the understanding of English medical terminology, (b) the appropriate writing skills of a patient’s chart, and (c) the appropriate academic reading skills. These skills appeared to be significantly important for undergraduate students who wish to work as health professionals. A valuable source of information for designing curricula can be provided.
