| Abstract | This paper discusses the increasing enrollment of foreign students at American universities, especially in business programs, and the need for specialized courses in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) for business students. Focusing on the situation at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C., the paper reports on a survey of 98 EFL students at GWU conducted in 1992 concerning the students' attitudes towards a specialized EFL course for business students. Of the 55 respondents who were enrolled in the School of Business and Public Management (SBPM), 73 percent favored a separate or optional additional EFL course for business students. Seventy-five percent of the business students reported that they would have taken such a course, and 47 percent said that they would take such a course in addition to the standard EFL course. Interviews with faculty of the SBPM indicate that while some faculty focus only on content in evaluating students, others are very concerned about students' language comprehension and expression.
