Abstract
Technology-cultivated learning opens opportunities to acquire knowledge from various resources. However, languages become a barrier for non-English major students. Nevertheless, ESP allows students to familiarize their English with their specific subject. Thus, this study aimed to explore the needs of the Physical Education of Elementary Teacher Program (PE-ETP) pre-service teachers. 188 participants and two lecturers participated in this study. The survey, focus group discussion, and interview were used to collect data. The result shows that some of the participants considered ESP as a very important part of the curriculum; consider it important. Ver few participants disagree that ESP is part of the curriculum. Further, eight possible topics were offered in developing ESP courses for the PE-ETP. The topics are teaching PE using English, academic English for sports , athlete communications , referee communications, coach communications, sports category, sports terms, and Physiology terms. The topics can be developed into specific course units in syllabus design.
