Abstract
This paper discusses the result of a survey conducted at the University of the South Pacific (USP). USP uses English as the language for instruction across all disciplines. The survey examined the perceptions and experiences of English use for daily life activities and English language needs among South Pacific islanders enrolled as distance learners at USP. The survey questionnaire based on the needs analysis framework was administered to 172 students. The analysis of questionnaires data revealed similar needs for academic and non-academic activities amongst learners. The study recommends further research on English language usage among the learners in the South Pacific region.
