ESP (English for Specific Purposes) is a technical subject and an approach that invaded all colleges in the world. Nowadays, Algerian universities are undertaking the same path by implementing ESP in all higher educational disciplines, most particularly the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. Yet, this implementation is not without any deficiencies regarding the teaching and learning processes. Starting from this observation, this paper aims at shedding lights on the challenges that civil engineering students encounter in their ESP courses and what may be their needs to attain a better learning process. A quantitative method has been adopted to conduct our research; 60 Civil Engineering Master Students were asked to fill in the questionnaire that we sent through Google Form system. When we gathered data, we used SPSS to analyze them. Our findings show that learners performed bad in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The most salient obstacles they encountered in their courses were related to vocabulary, grammar, an speaking.
