description Many studies related to EFL investigate that a mismatch between teaching and learning styles cause learning failure, frustration, and demotivation. The implementation of ESP in Indonesia mostly adopts Content-Based Instruction which requires a lot of effort from the teacher. The teachers’ perspectives are important to reveal the actual challenges in the classroom to determine the best solution. A questionnaire was distributed to around thirty lecturers of ESP to be analyzed statistically by using the Likert scale to show their views on the obstacles and challenges of teaching ESP. There are four domains that are analyzed which are, opinions, attitudes, preferences, and perceptions of the subjects. The researcher counted and found out the average score, middle point in the score distribution, point where the most score was obtained, finding the average deviation of each score from the mean, and percentage of the proportion of the group population. From all of those calculation results, the researcher derives conclusion by comparing to the result of the interview as well. It comes to the conclusion that from four fields that had been studied, attitudes and preferences take the highest rank of the teachers’ challenge.
