الملخص

Though ESP courses are programmed and offered in many Algerianuniversities, huge lacunas are recorded in the way these courses are implemented indifferent departments in general including the department of biology. Despite theimportance of English for Biology students especially for post-graduate students ofGenetics who need English in their studies and more importantly in their future jobs,there is a total absence of a syllabus that caters for their needs and guides them in theacquisition of the knowledge of English they need in their specific field. Therefore,this study aims to identify the needs, wants and lacks of first year post-graduatestudents of Genetics, to highlight the problems surrounding the teaching of English inthe department of Biology at the University of Tlemcen and to give some solutionsthrough the design of a suitable syllabus.This research is a case study involving three instruments to collect the necessarydata: a questionnaire addressed to students, an interview arranged with both languageand subject specialist teachers and a classroom observation. The data werequalitatively and quantitatively analyzed.The results obtained showed that the students under investigation are in need ofspecific English i.e. English for Medical Sciences to achieve their academic andprofessional duties. The results also showed that these learners need to develop alllanguage skills with a special focus on reading and speaking. Moreover, the task-basedsyllabus was opted for because it is believed to provide the Genetics students with anumber of tasks that illustrate different situations needed by these learners and helpthem promote both accuracy and fluency.The main conclusions that the investigator reached in this research are thatEnglish is of paramount importance for these learners who are required to use it notonly in their academic, but also in their professional careers since these learners arecalled upon to use English as part of their daily experiments. This research alsoprovided the investigator with a clear idea about the learning situation of students ofGenetics emphasizing the suitability of a Task- Based syllabus for them.
