Abstract: As English serves the purpose of international communication, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learners must acquire relevant language skills to engage in the field where they are currently immersed or are preparing to immerse. Regardless of their field, they will be engaged with the four language skills, also known as macro skills of communication (Husna, 2021) such as, writing, reading, speaking, and listening. Therefore, ESP learners need mastery of these macro skills to be able to use the language in different settings effectively. Although listening and reading are passive or receptive skills, while speaking and writing are both active or productive skills, learning the four macro skills is essential to thrive in any field. Each skill has a vital role to play in the success of every student and professional. For instance, as mentioned by Ling (2016) and Moses and Mohamad (2019), writing is a multiplex activity. It helps the ESP learners to build connections with their respective fields, culture, society, and existing knowledge. On the other hand, reading is vital in guiding ESP learners to get information from words and enhance their communicative ability. The same goes for listening, which allows learners to understand, interpret, and evaluate the message by hearing (Djabborova, 2020), and lastly, speaking, which is considered the most essential skill among the four macro-skills, helps the ESP learners to sustain in this globally competitive world.
