    The document compares three models for ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course design: 1) a language-centered approach which identifies linguistic features of a target situation and designs materials around a syllabus of those features. 2) A skills-centered approach which analyzes skills needed for a target situation and designs a syllabus and materials focused on developing those skills. 3) A learning-centered approach which considers learners' needs, attitudes, and the learning environment to design a syllabus and materials that help learners acquire the skills and knowledge needed for the target situation.
