Recent research in the field of ESP indicates that ESP teachers have become more aware of the role of teaching methodologies in ESP classrooms. Today, the majority of teachers want to meet their students’needs and teach through better innovative compelling approaches to guarantee learners successful attainment of the target language and at the same time bring forth productive learners. To throw light on the students’ reaction to these innovative methods, this study attempts to examine ESP learners’attitudes toward the Inquiry-based learning/teaching approach into their ESP learning environment, thereby recommend or discourage its use. In order to assess students’ feedback and preference of this approach, a questionnaire was administered to 120 ESP biology learners at the University of Ibn khaldoun Tiaret, Algeria. Results obtained from data showed positive attitudes and thorough support among learners of the Inquiry-based instructions. Thus, the Inquiry-based learning/teaching approach is perceived positively and it is esteemed to reinforce learners linguistic and science knowledge.
