The students were also given a questionnaire survey
measuring the perceived English needs for university freshman students at the end of the second semester. Not all
students took both tests or filled out the survey. As a result, we only collected a complete set of data from 28
students in the experimental group and 31 students in the control group at the end of the project. These students
were graduating seniors in June of 2010. In an attempt to determine if they had changed their opinions about ESP
education, a brief telephone interview was conducted in the beginning of June before their graduation.
