Abstract

There is growing shift of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in Indonesia, from merely focusing to prepare students whose language is not English to pursue tertiary education at universities in English speaking countries (pre-departure EAP training programs); to giving English academic literacy benefit for students at university level not only to have more academic skill but also to prepare graduates to fulfill professional requirements. Considering this big impact and uniqueness of EAP, this paper critically consolidates theoretical review to foster the success of EAP in a country where English is considered as a Foreign Language (EFL) like Indonesia. Each discussion is followed by the practice of EAP based on my six-month pre-departure EAP training program at IALF (Indonesia-Australia Language Foundation) Bali in which the groups are placed from mixed academic backgrounds; and EAP research at Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) and Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) where one academic field is common to all students. The discussion starts with the origin, benefit, and kinds of approach of Need Analysis (NA). For Indonesian condition, the appropriate NA approach is Means Analysis because it is sensitive to the environment. Later on, six methods of NA data collection are reviewed. These data are worth-while for EAP syllabus (discussed under three broad headings: content or product, skills and method/process) and course design. NA approach and data collection, syllabus and course design are as starting point of reference for EAP programs in Indonesia to accommodate and compromise with the environment. Keywords: EAP in Indonesia, Need Analysis, Syllabus, Course Design
