It has great importance everywhere in education, business and in everyday interactions. Because of the global status of English its teaching should be accordingly to its use in daily life. Many methodologies of teaching English have been implemented but one of the modern methodoly is communicative language teaching (CLT). It is one of the strategies that are very much beneficial for teaching English communicatively. CLT is implemented in EFL/ESL and also in ESP courses. In Pakistan, still GTM (grammar translation method) is implemented, CLT is not been used because traditional methodologies are easy to apply in the classroom. The aim of this research is to find out basic needs and lacking’s in our universities of Pakistan in teaching ESP in engineering context. This paper is also aimed to assess the needs of CLT in the engineering context. In order to get the result, mixed questionnaire of multiple option questions are used as an instrument of the data collection. 12 questions are asked to know the student’s perception of CLT teaching. Only students have been taken as the participant of the study. 130 students from the Quest University Nawabshah have been selected from the different departments to achieve goal of assessing students’ belief’s and attitudes towards CLT.

In Pakistan English language is official and academic one. But when we are talking of its teaching, it is not taught in communicative way. Teaching of English is still going through old methodologies in Pakistani universities. This study aimed at presenting CLT as a method of teaching English communicatively in Universities of Pakistan. The language must be taught according to its context, use and needs. The modern technologies and methodologies should be implemented to get relevant goals of the language use. The ESP should be taken into consideration while teaching English. In Pakistan English is considered as a second language. A person with better English can have a bright future in his/her professional life. In every field like business, education and everyday communication English is of prime importance. If one wanted to excel s/he should learn English communicatively. 1. English as a global language The most important attribute of human nature is communication. Without this human life is impossible to survive. In the past decades, the communication was not global. It was within the societies, culture and communities. After expansion of business and trade it became necessary to communicate globally to achieve the goals. Language varies culture to culture and community to community. People of this era wanted to communicate globally to fulfill their academic and professional goals. After renaissance, because of expansion in business and English colonialism, English has achieved the prestigious status and became the international language. Now it is considered as language of world. Everywhere you find English as second language of the majority of countries. It also became the one of the common language of different people of different countries and cultures. English is getting higher status day by day, because of its needs has been growing in terms of education, business and trade. 2. English language teaching in engineering context of Pakistani universities Pakistan is one of the multilingual countries. In Pakistan English is one of the important subjects. It is taught
