Abstract
A syllabus is an important document for teaching which contains the outline of course, including topics, weekly schedule, assignments and tests. A syllabus serves as a communication medium for both theories and practices that will be exposed during study to students. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate a syllabus to meet the purposes of learning. The subject of this study is the evaluation of the syllabus of English for Specific Purposes in semester 1 for the nursing students and exploration of the needs of the nursing students, professional nurses, and the teaching staff. The study is conducted based on need analysis. Analyzing need analysis is necessary before designing the syllabus to obtain information associated with the nursing students' needs. The method for this study is descriptive and using qualitative approach. The data are obtained through documents, questionnaires, and interviews. The result of the syllabus evaluation of English for Specific Purposes for the nursing students reveals that the syllabus designed for nursing students needs revision to meet the result of need analysis.
