Abstract
This study examined an investigation of special language needs analysis of workplaces in Lagos State. The descriptive survey design was used to carry out the study. The population of study comprised of all the workers in all the selected industries located within Oshodi and Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State. This was done with a group of technicians at a factory manufacturing microchips and other electronic parts located at Oshodi-Isolo Free Industrial Zone, Lagos state, Nigeria. The purpose of this research was twofold - to enable course designers to formulate an appropriate “English for Technicians” course in order to meet their job requirements and to obtain feedback from the technicians regarding their expectations of the course. The findings of this study revealed that all the four critical language skills are frequently used at the workplace, especially listening and speaking. It was also found that the technicians perceived themselves as ineffective users of the English language at the workplace. They believed that some level of training would be beneficial to improving their communication skills at work. It was also noted that technicians had some special needs with respect to the usage of the English Language which may not be covered in General English courses. This study will aid the researcher in developing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Course. Based on the needs analysis from this study, a tailor-made course on “English for Technicians” is possible.
