Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to present the concept of ESP instruction at the Faculty of Informatics and management, University of Hradec Kralove, and results of monitoring the state-of-art in learning foreign languages before students’ university study; within the university study; and students’ plans on how to exploit their knowledge of English/ESP in the future. Data were collected by the questionnaire containing 20 items structured in three areas. The results provide additional data to the concept so as the ESP instruction could be efficiently conducted.
