Teaching English using an ESP approach seems preferable in current ELT due to its efficiency and effectiveness in imparting learning. However, designing ELT using the ESP approach is not an easy job.

The data are collected from 313 students from Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Education and Faculty of Economics the University of Mataram using triangulation techniques --- test, questionnaire, interview, FGD, and documentary and then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. From the analysis, it is concluded that conflicts among needs in designing teaching English using an ESP approach at the University of Mataram, caused by big gaps between the necessities and students’ lacks (current level of English).
