English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
It is a separate activity within English Language Teaching (ELT).

Difficult to implement ESP in the contemporary world.
Advanced situations in different fields helped to improve ESP.

English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
ESP movement developed due to general development in the world economy in 1950s and 1960s.
Growth of science and technology also contributed for ESP.
English as an international language, increased economy power in oil rich countries and studies in foreign countries helped for ESP movement.
One should be equipped with a “present, practise and produce” approach for content and language integrated learning.

Difference between General English (GE) and English for Specific
Purposes (ESP)
GE: “Vanaja teaches English” ESP: “Vanaja teaches British poetry” ESP is an approach, not a product ESP is meant for career oppurtunity GE is for “no obvious purpose” ESP is for specific purpose

ESP as a multi-disciplinary activities
The need and willingness to engage with other disciplinary through teaching.
The need and willingness to draw the insights of researchers in their disciplines.
The need to work how the spoken and written texts are useful to students in terms of their validity.
To understand how the business is organized through the text books from management training and HRD management.
In ESP work, we have to be sensitive to cultural differences both in academic and professional world.

Characteristics of ESP: Designed to meet specified needs of the
learner. Related to content to particular disciplines,
occupations and activities etc. Centered on language activities in syntax,
lexis, discourse, semantics, and analysis of the discourse.
In contrast with ‘General English’. May be restricted to the learning skills to be
learned. May not be taught according to pre-ordained
methodology.
![Page 8: Esp sep 2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541fffcd7bef0ac97d8b4a90/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Seven key Roles of the ESP practitioner:
Clearly explain the objectives. Teacher or language consultant should
understand the nature of students’ subject or vocation.
Course designer and material provider. Researcher – Think the needs of
students. Collaborator by using texts, contexts,
and situations. Evaluator.

Characteristics of the ESP learner: Learner is learning English in order to achieve
something specific beyond language itself. Learner will involve skills that are very
different from learning a language skills. ESP learner may learn English slowly because
his aim is to pursue a vocation and a purpose which is not based on language.
ESP learner may study English at the same time as studying his/her subject or doing a full-time job to the ESP class.
ESP learner may not have similar level of English. So, teacher must expect mixed levels and allow to improve differentiation.

EAP: English for Academic Purposes:
EAP is badly in need in the situations where the students are from rural areas who may have had rather less exposure to English and may have been less well taught at school or college level and now are studying may be encountering in a large scale for the first time at the beginning of an academic course.
They are unlikely to have studied specific tasks or purposes for the study of university level.

Trends of Teachers’ of Business English: For Business English Teachers,
personality, knowledge, and experience are important.
Mostly English teachers have not worked in business and they can not speak such language but acquiring is not a problem as from reading and talking to people, attending courses and seminars one can acquire.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) VersusEnglish for Business Purposes (EBP)
EAP operates within a world were the fundamental concern is individual where as in EBP the purpose is with the world.
EAP interaction will be limited but in EBP, it will be in the world.
In EAP situations NNS has to adapt to both language and culture but in EBP situations, NNS may use the language but does not adapt the culture.
EAP teachers studied in academic environment but EBP teachers does not have direct experience with their learners.
