From its early beginning in the 1960s ESP 
has undergone three main phases of 
development

1. The expansion of demand for English to 
suit particular needs 
2. The developments in the fields of 
linguistics 
3. Educational psychology

ESP has developed at different speeds in 
different countries, and example of all 
the approaches we shall describe can 
be found operating somewhere in the 
world at the present time.

The concept of special 
language: register analysis 
The aim of the analysis was to identify 
the grammatical and lexical features of 
these registers. 
5 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Teaching materials then took these 
linguistic features as their syllabus. A 
good example of such a syllabus is that 
of A Course in Basic Scientific English 
by Ewer and Latorre. [1969] 
6 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
As Ewer and latorre’s syllabus, show, 
register analysis revealed that there was 
very little that was distinctive in the 
sentence grammar of scientific english 
beyond a tendency to favour particular 
forms such as the present simple, the 
passive voice and and nominal 
compound. 
7

An example, reveal any forms that were 
not found in General English. In these 
sense we must be warry of making 
unfair critism. Although there was an 
academic interest in the nature of 
registers of english. 
8 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
The main motive behind register analysis 
such Ewer and Latorre’s was the 
pedagogic one of making the ESP 
course more relevant to learners’ needs. 
9 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
The aim was to produce a 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 
10

10/7/2014 ghofur.
Beyond the sentence 
There was, as well shall see, serious flaws 
in the register analysis based syllabus, 
but, as it happened, register analysis as 
a research procedure was rapidly over 
taken by developments in the world of 
linguistics. 
11 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Whereas the first stage of its development, 
ESP has focussed on language as the 
sentence level, the second phase of 
development shifted attention to the 
level above sentence, as ESP became 
closely involved with the emerging field 
of discourse or rhetorical analysis. 
12 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Register analysis had focussed on 
sentence grammar, but now attention 
shifted to understanding how sentences 
were combined in discourse to produce 
meaning. 
13 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
The concern of research, therefore, was to 
identify the organisational patterns in 
texts and to specify the linguistic means 
by which these patterns are signalled. 
These patterns would then form the 
syllabus of the ESP course. 
14

10/7/2014 ghofur.
Target situation analysis 
The stage that we come to consider now 
did not really added anything new to the 
range of knowledge about ESP. What it 
aimed to do was to take the existing 
knowledge and set it on a more specific 
basis, by establishing procedures for 
relating language analysis more closely 
to learners’ reason for learning. 
15 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Given that the purpose of an ESP course 
is to enable learnes to function 
adequatelly in a target situation, that is, 
the situation in which the learners will 
use the language they are learning. 
16 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Then, 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. 
17 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
The identified features will form the 
syllabus of the ESP course. The process 
is usually known as needs analysis 
18 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
The target situation analysis stage marjed 
a certain ‘coming of age’ for ESP. what 
had previously been done very much in 
a piecemeal way, was now systematised 
and learner need was apparently placed 
at the centre of the course design 
process. 
19 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
The process then set up to cope with study 
situations where the medium of 
instruction is the mother tongue but 
students need to read a number of 
specialist texts which are available only 
in English. The projects have, therefore, 
concentrated their efforts on reading 
strategies. 
20 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
A learning centred approach 
In outlining the origins of ESP, we 
identified three forces, which we might 
characterise as need, new ideas about 
language and new ideas about learning. 
21 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Whether this description is out surface 
forms, as in the skills and strategies 
approach, the concern in each case is 
with describing what people do with 
language. 
22 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
Since our concern in ESP is not with 
language use- although this will help to 
define the course objective. 
In this case our concern is with language 
learning. 
23 
file asus d:britishbritaniamateri kuliahESP. 
10/7/2014 ghofur.
We cannot simply assume that describing 
and exemplifying what people do with 
language will enable someone to learn 
it. 
A trully valid approach to ESP must be 
based on an understanding of the 
processes of language learning.
