Résumé: A good mastery of vocabulary is an important component in the learning process of English for both general and specific purposes. However, the fact that general English teachers are pointed to teach English for Specific Purposes (ESP) reveals considerable problems and obstacles that stand as a barrier towards achieving better ESP vocabulary courses. This study aims at investigating the requirements and difficulties facing teachers when teaching vocabulary in ESP context at the level of Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia Jijel University, particularly those teachers working at the faculty of Economics, Business, and Management Sciences (EBM). In this research, it is hypothesized that teaching vocabulary in ESP context is hindered by a lack of identifying teachers’ needs and difficulties . To check the validity of this hypothesis, a questionnaire was administered to English teachers at the faculty of EBM at Mohamed Seddik Ben Yahia Jijel University. The obtained results showed that ESP teachers at the faculty of EBM are faced with a number of difficulties when teaching ESP vocabulary. Thus, in order to help GE teachers overcome their teaching difficulties; some suggestions were recommended among them ESP teachers’ training and collaboration with subject teachers
