Academic Writing as an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course equips students with essential writing skills for engineering academic and professional tasks. This study is undertaken with the aim to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of the current Academic Writing course offered at a technical university. The findings are crucial for the course's continuous improvement. This paper will report quantitative data through the questionnaire method employed that involves the feedback of 100 enrolled students. It comprises four dimensions namely course contents, materials and resources, testing and assessment, and academic instruction. The results reveal some constructive feedback from students that includes the need to improve in course materials and resources due to lack of study materials, as well as a call for the academic instruction by instructors to be improved. Suggestions and recommendations are made in order to contribute to continuous quality improvement for the course. 2022 2022-08-07T03:32:21Z 2022-08-07T03:32:21Z 2022-03 Article International Journal of Nanoelectronics and Materials, vol.15 (Special Issue), 2022, pages 209-218 1997-4434 (Online) 1985-5761 (Printed) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/75802 http://ijneam.unimap.edu.my en Special Issue ISSTE 2022; Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
