Abstract	Batangas Province is known as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. It is home to many beaches, diving spots and varied tourist attractions. This makes Batangas a haven for hotels, restaurant, and tour services as it is frequently visited by local and foreign entities. This also makes the demand for higher quality of hotel services and staff adept in using the English language. Thus, Higher education institutions find ways to address this clamor is for competitive and communicatively competent graduates. This research investigated and analyzed the English language skills needs, problems and on how well their present academic curricula address them. The skills measured were on listening, speaking. reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary. A total of 99 Hotel and Restaurant Management college students who are presently undergoing their practicum in different hotels in Batangas Province. It was found out that the language skills needs are very high and the problems encountered by the students are moderate and the schools highly address these needs. However, the schools still need to realign their curriculum as they do not precisely address the highly needed skills and problems. (As Provided).
