What is ESP?

English for Specific Purposes is an approach


not product
ESP is not a matter of teaching specialized
varieties of English.
ESP is not just a matter of science words and
grammar for scientists, hotel words and grammar
for hotel staff and soon.
ESP is not different in kind from any other form of
language teaching, in that it should be based in the
first instance on principles of effective and efficient
learning.

ESP is not a particular kind of language


or methodology, nor does it consist of
a particular type of teaching material.

Examples :
1. A remedial grammar for business people, with each unit
based on a particular grammatical weakness identified by
tests.
Is it ESP??

- No, it is not ESP. Because the course is in grammar which is


not related to their profession. There is a need analysis, but on
tests and not on students needs.

Examples :
2. A course that teaches undergraduate engineering students from
various branches (civil, electrical, mechanical, etc.) to write reports
on design project.
Is it ESP??
- Yes, it is ESP. Specific discipline, specific needs, specific text from
the field

Conclusion :
The Main factors in the original of ESP that the linguistic factor
dominate the ESPs development that focus on the nature of
spesific varieties of language use. In tree of ELT, it shown that
they are primarily concerned with communication and
learning.
ESP is not an language product but as an approach to
language teaching whics is directed by spesific and apparent
reasons for learning.
