In this study, by means of working with a group of staff members from a machinery company on the overall area of English learning, the teacher-researcher attempted to examine the real needs of specific English required in industry and counterpart English courses offered in academics. As such, the teacher could bridge the gap of English practice for both sides. There were five participants with different educational backgrounds joining this project. The data sources collected from the workplace included survey questionnaires, interviews, participant observation, and field notes. In the findings, a series of required English skills needed in the workplace was pointed out, such as reading comprehension and oral skills, and specific courses offered by the English department with appropriate disciplinary modification were exemplified. Hopefully, with the modified contents learned in the classroom setting, students are able to put the knowledge and skills into practice once they enter the job market.
