This document discusses the types, characteristics, and development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It identifies three main types of ESP: 1) English as a restricted language for occupations like air traffic controllers, 2) English for Academic and Occupational Purposes which includes branches like English for Science and Technology, and 3) English with specific topics focused on future needs like attending conferences. Characteristics of ESP include being needs-based, content-focused, analyzing appropriate syntax and lexis, and not following a predetermined methodology. The development of ESP involved register analysis, rhetorical analysis, target situation analysis, emphasizing skills and strategies, and adopting a learning-centered approach.

Teaching. Language in Education: Theory and Practice"
Communicative Language Teaching is the cornerstone for approaches that have shifted from a grammar-based language view to a functional view of language where communication is the main objective. Such approaches are CBI (Content-based instruction) and TBI (Task-based instruction). Today, both CBI and TBI are the leading approaches most teachers are currently using to teach a second/foreign language around the world. Both approaches have been proven to be effective, and the most important thing is that students are truly learning to use language to communicate their ideas to different audiences.

Approaches to teaching ESP and EAP in open and distance learningPrithvi Shrestha
The field of ESP (including EAP) has grown tremendously over the last four decades. It seems to have flourished not only in English-speaking countries but also in countries where English is used as a foreign language. However, its growth in the open and distance learning sector seems to be limited and the ESP literature appears to report very little with regard to this sector. In this talk, I will be presenting the approach(es) followed by OpenELT in The Open University UK while designing two modules for open and distance learning: one ESP and another EAP. I will also share the implication of producing these two modules for other ESP/ EAP practitioners.

English for Specific Purposes by Tony Dudley EvansParth Bhatt
English for specific purposes (ESP) has for about 30 years been a separate branch of English
Language Teaching. It has developed its own approaches, materials and methodology and is
generally seen as a very active, even 'feisty' movement that has had considerable influence over the
more general activities of TESOL and applied linguistics.
ESP has always seen itself as materials-driven and as a classroom-based activity concerned
with practical outcomes. Most w riting about ESP is concerned with aspects of teaching, materials
production and text analysis rather than with the development of a theory of ESP.
English for Academic Purposes by Liz Hamp-LyonsParth Bhatt
Over the past 25 years TESL/TEFL in universities/colleges and other academic settings - or in programmes designed to prepare non-native users of English for English-medium academic settings - has grown into a multi-million-dollar enterprise around the world. Teaching those who are using English for their studies differs from teaching English to those who are learning for general purposes only, and from teaching those who are learning for occupational purposes. English for academic purposes (EAP) is not only a teaching approach. It is also a branch of applied linguistics consisting of a significant body of research into effective teaching and assessment approaches, methods of analysis of the academic language needs of students, analysis of the linguistic and discoursal structures of academic texts, and analysis of the textual practices of academics.

2. TYPES OF ESP
David Carver (1983) identifies of three types of
ESP:
1. English as a restricted language
2. English for Academic and Occupational
Purposes
3. English with specific topics
3. 1. English as a restricted language
The language used by air traffic controllers or
by waiters are examples of English as a
restricted language (Mackay and Mountford;
1978).
4. 2. English for Academic and
Occupational Purposes (Carter; 1983)
In the ‘Three of ELT’ (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987),
ESP is broken down into three branches:
1. English for Science and Technology (EST)
2. English for Business and Economics (EBE)
3. English for Social Studies (ESS)
Each of these subject areas is further divided
into two branches:
1. English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
2. English for Occupational Purposes (EOP)
5. English for Science and
Technology (EST)
An example of EOP for the EST branch is
‘English for Technicians’
Whereas an example of EAP for the EST
branch is ‘English for Medical Studies’
6. 3. English with Specific Topics
Emphasis shifts from purpose to topics
It is uniquely concerned with anticipated future
English needs, for example, scientists
requiring English for postgraduate reading
studies, attending conferences or working in
foreign institutions.
This situational language has been determined
based on the interpretation of results from
needs analysis of authentic language used in
target workplace settings.
7. CHARACTERISTICS OF ESP
(Strevens, 1988)
Meets specified needs of the
learner;
Content centred on particular
subjects, professions and
social activities;
Centred on that language
which is appropriate to those
activities in syntax, lexis,
discourse, semantics, etc.,
and analysis of this discourse;
Contrasting with General
English
Restricted as to the
language skills to be
learned (e.g.
reading only);
Not taught
according to any
pre-ordained
methodology.
1. Absolute Characteristics 2. Variable Characteristics
9. Authentic Material
ESP should be offered at an intermediate or
advanced level
Closer examination
Modified or unmodified in form
10. Purpose-related Orientation
Refers to the simulation of communicative
tasks
Student simulation of a conference, involving
the preparation of papers, reading, note taking,
and writing.
11. Self-direction
Turning learners into users.
Learners must have a certain degree of
freedom to decide when, what, and how they
will study.
12. THE DEVELOPMENT OF ESP
(1960s until todays uses)
1. The concept of special language: register
analysis
2. Beyond the sentence: rhetorical or discourse
analysis
3. Target situation analysis
4. Skills and strategies
5. A learning-centred approach
13. 1.The Concept of Special
Language: Register Analysis
The main motive behind register analysis was the
pedagogic one of the making the ESP a course
more relevant to the learners needs.
The aim was to produce syllabus which gave high
priority to the language forms students would
meet in their Science studies and in turn would
give low priority to forms they would not meet.
The basic principle that the English, of, say,
Electrical Engineering constituted a specific
register different from other registers such Biology
or of General English.
14. 2. Beyond the Sentence:
Rhetorical or Discourse Analysis
This phase gives more understanding how
sentences were combined in discourse to
produce meaning.
The typical teaching materials based on the
discourse approach taught students to
recognize textual patterns and discourse
markers.
15. 3. Target Situation Analysis
It aimed to take the existing knowledge and set it
on a more scientific basis, by establishing
procedures for relating language analysis more
closely to learners reasons for learning.
The ESP course design process should proceed
by first identifying the target situation and then
carrying out a rigorous analysis of the linguistic
features of that situation. The identified features
will form the syllabus of the ESP course.
This stage process is usually known as needs
analysis or target situation analysis according to
Chambers (1980).
16. 4. Skills and Strategies
An attempt to look below the surface and to
consider not the language itself but the thinking
processes that underlie language use.
Underlying all language use there are common
reasoning and interpreting processes, which,
regardless of the surface forms, enable the
students to extract meaning from discourse.
This approach generally puts the emphasis on
reading or listening strategies. (analyze how
meaning is produced in and retrieved from written
or spoken discourse)
17. 5. A Learning-centred Approach
ESP must be based on an understanding of
the processes of language learning.
