To address this empirical gap, used qualitative case study method to investigate pharmacy students' during their for purpose class. I conducted in-depth interviews gather information from participants. An analysis interview data revealed five major themes were related problems, including pronunciation challenge, anxiety, low self-esteem, poor grammar, and lack vocabulary. The findings sources reported interviewees not only about language matters (i.e. vocabulary) but also psychological ones (see anxiety).
