Abstract
This research was carried out to determine the needs, weaknesses, and strengths of professionals in the field of dentistry concerning the management of the four language skills of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). This study was of a descriptive, field, and mixed approach, in which the survey was the technique, and as a data collection instrument, a questionnaire applied to 26 specialist professors of the Dentistry School of Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo, Ecuador. It was evidenced that the specialists have weaknesses about the four skills in the English language because only 7.7% said they had an excellent level of listening and speaking. In contrast, 15.4% said they had an excellent level of Writing and Reading. The need for the design and implementation of a working text to improve mastery of skills and updating of English language knowledge for dental purposes was proved through a one-way analysis to the right (sample t-test). The study compared if the domains of the professors exceeded 0.70 (p = 0.00; 1-p / 2 = 1; t = 4.34 (25)) in which case it was shown with domain management of less than 70%. The importance of this contribution was acceptable by the professors.
