Summary/Abstract: Filling the Gap between Target Needs and Student Wants in English for Academic Environmental Purposes. The present paper sets out to bring forward some of the current issues in nowadays ESP teaching, such as, in what ways can ESP teachers produce and design a balanced approach to their syllabi in terms of content needed by their ESP students, but not necessarily wanted or liked by those. To be more precise, we are going to use a deductive method to find out what freshmen students from the faculties of Biology and Environmental Science and Engineering would want and like in their EAEP course and see if it matches or not with the teacher’s intended EAEP curriculum.
