This study sought to determine the specific English language needs of accounting students at Alasmarya Islamic University (AIU), in the Faculty of Economics and Commerce (FEC). Employing Hutchinson and Waters' (1987) approach to needs analysis, this study explored the perceptions of accounting students and their lecturers at FEC regarding the essential English language skills and sub-skills for accounting students. Additionally, it delved into the students' self-assessment of their English language proficiency and their desired areas of language training. Quantitative data were gathered using an adapted questionnaire distributed to students and lecturers. The study revealed that all proposed language skills are deemed necessary for accountingstudents at FEC, from the perspective of both sample members. Furthermore, the study identified varying perceptions regarding the importance of specific language sub-skills. The results have shown that the students have evaluated themselves to be of a low level of proficiency in speaking and writing and of an average level in listening and reading language skills. However, the results showed that participants strongly expressed a need for comprehensive English language training, emphasizing the importance of developing all subskills.
