English proficiency plays a crucial role in professional communication for engineers in India, as industries increasingly operate in globalized environments. This study investigates the English language needs of Indian engineers by analyzing their perceptions of the importance and frequency of language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—required in their workplaces. A survey was conducted among 50 engineers from diverse industries across India, with additional insights obtained through interviews. The findings indicate that while reading is perceived as the most important and frequently used skill, listening and writing also hold significant relevance. Despite being ranked lower in importance and frequency, speaking skills remain critical for workplace interactions, particularly in reporting work to superiors and engaging with suppliers. The study highlights the gap between industry expectations and university curricula, emphasizing the need for targeted English language training programs for engineers. The findings suggest that technical institutions must incorporate industry-specific English training, focusing on real-world communication scenarios, technical documentation, and oral presentation skills to enhance the employability and effectiveness of Indian engineers.
