📄 Abstract
This study aimed to assess the English language needs of agricultural students at Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology (KCAST), focusing on their proficiency in the four macro skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A mixed-method approach was used, including both quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews) data collection methods. The study found that while students demonstrated strong abilities in reading and speaking, their writing and listening skills were notably weaker, particularly in writing, where students struggled with grammar, punctuation, and overall coherence. The findings highlight the students' low self-confidence in writing, attributed to personal factors such as poor motivation and difficulty with grammar rules. Based on these results, the study proposes a specialized syllabus designed to enhance students' writing and listening skills through targeted, agriculture-specific English activities. This curriculum recommendation aims to improve students? communication skills, better preparing them for academic success and future employment in the agricultural sector
