In doing so, 91 medicalstudents from Qazvin and Sanandaj University along with six ESP instructorsparticipated in the study. They filled out their related questionnaires Theformer group (i.e., students) filled out two questionnaires and oneevaluation questionnaire at two intervals; one at the beginning of the termin which they rated the skills that assumed to be important in their futuretasks and their expectations of the ESP course they were about to begin. Theywere also asked to fill out the same questionnaire at the end of the courseto investigate to what extent the four language skills have been addressed aswell as their initial expectations. During the same session they filled outan evaluation questionnaire. The latter group (i.e. ESP instructors) filled aquestionnaire designed to investigate their opinions regarding the efficiencyof the ESP textbook they had been teaching for years. The results of thestudy revealed that there was not a relationship between students' needsand their ESP textbooks and even though reading and writing were seen asproperly addressed by the ESP textbook, listening and speaking were not seenas appropriately addressed by it.
