Abstract: 

This study aimed to investigate the subject teachers' perspective on the students' needs regarding their present academic skills at Garden City College for Science & Technology (GCCST). More specifically, it attempted to address the students' actual mastery level in employing the academic skills to successfully pursue their academic studies at the college. These academic skills include note- taking , writing graduation projects and how to defend them , how to write exams and tests' answers , describing graphs and tables , and giving presentations in English Language. The sample of the present study is composed of 45 subject teachers whom were randomly selected to give their general views objectively on the students' academic skills in the subjects they are teaching. The findings of this study revealed that the subject teachers were not satisfied with the students' skills required for their academic progress.
