English for Specific Purposes (ESP) refers to teaching English for a particular career or business. ESP is designed to meet the specific needs of learners, uses content related to specific disciplines or occupations, and centers on the language needed for those fields. ESP contrasts with general English by focusing on restricted skills and not following a single methodology. ESP uses authentic materials and self-directed learning with a purpose-related orientation.
