Abstract: English is widely recognized as an international language for education communication, which has led to the development of several English for Academic Purposes (EAP) subjects for Thai students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), especially in specialized school programs. The primary objective of these EAP subjects is to prepare Thai students for academic success in an increasingly interconnected world. Therefore, appropriate learning materials are needed to enhance students' academic language proficiency and ability to engage in interdisciplinary studies. As part of a full research and development project, this preliminary study was conducted to investigate the voices of Thai secondary school students and teachers for theme-based learning materials design in an English for Science and Mathematics (ESM) subject. Focus group and individual interviews were used to explore the experiences and opinions of students and teachers in the Enrichment Program of Science, Mathematics, Technology, and Environment (SMTE). The study identified specific academic English literacy needs, including reading strategies, planning for paragraph writing, sentence structure, knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, and learning materials preferences of the SMTE students. These empirical findings could offer valuable insights for materials developers and English language teachers engaged in designing learning materials for students with specific needs.
