📄 Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the English language needs of Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) students, with a focused emphasis on their macro skills listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Conducted at Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences, and Technology, the study employed a needs analysis framework that combined quantitative and qualitative data collection through a 60-item questionnaire and follow-up interviews with selected students. The objective was to identify which language skill required the most attention for workplace readiness and professional communication. Findings revealed that while students showed average proficiency in listening, speaking, and reading, writing emerged as the most challenging skill. Participants reported difficulty in grammar, sentence construction, and formal document writing such as emails, reports, and memos. The results emphasized the need for a revised, writing-intensive curriculum that integrates real-world writing tasks relevant to office settings. This study highlights the importance of strengthening writing instruction in English courses to better prepare BSOA students for future roles in administrative and corporate environments.
