Abstract

This chapter explores perspectives of administrators, ESP teachers and MBA students in a Pakistani university on the English language needs of MBA students. It further tries to explore the strife caused by the administrative differences in opinion and outlook on the university’s system that restrain it from bringing much needed change in the curriculum. In doing so the chapter also looks for a way forward, that is, a way to meet the English language needs of MBA students despite the disparity in the three respective standpoints. It also offers implications of this study to other global EAP contexts.
