The current article describes the results of different research findings, that was established after implementation of “Just in Time” concept in language acquisition, collecting data from students about the effectiveness of the target concept and their insights of the “Just in Time” as a whole.Learnersin this research take English classes for specific purposes; the topics of the lessons are connected with the major they are focusing on.Annotationsof ESP teaching among the students showed that no specific instruction in language acquisition were given and there were more miscellaneous approach in teaching, without a corpus and clear description of what language element exactly should be focused on in ESP teaching, or what grammar is necessary to teach in order to use language in authentic world or what texts should be introduced for reading as the academic readings claimed time for analyzing and comprehending. The most important thing is how students are able to understand and obtain data using their cognitive skills, thus, it was difficult to fully explore the ability of theirs, identify their strength and weaknesses.
