摘要:Changes are norms at workplaces. As a result, globalization and development of technology demand employees to be highly-skilled. Graduates find it difficult to seek employment upon graduation as they are lack of employability skills. Thus the need to establish employability skills among university undergraduates is imperative. This study is conducted in order to determine whether employability skills can be enhanced through studying English for Occupational Purposes (EOP) among undergraduates in Malaysia. In addition, it investigates whether undergraduates are able to identify attributes employers seek. The results of this study have useful pedagogical implications for teaching of English for Occupational Purposes (EOP) as the data obtained may be used to prepare teaching materials in order to enhance undergraduates’ employability skills.
