THE BEGINNING AND
DEVELOPMENT OF ESP
WHAT IS ESP?
I/ THE ORIGIN OF ESP
ESP came into being because of 3
main reasons:
1- THE DEMAND OF THE POST- WORLD WAR
 enormous and unprecedented
expansion of scientific, technical and
economic activities on an
international scale;
The Origin of ESP (cont.)
 domination of technology and
commerce  the role of English;
 mass of people learn English, not
for pleasure, but because English
is the key to help them earn a
living;
The Origin of ESP (cont.)
 Most importantly, the learners know
why they need English.
 The Oil Crisis of 70'  time and
money constraints  cost - effective
courses with clearly defined goals 
ESP courses “tailored” to specific
needs.
The Origin of ESP (cont.)
2- A REVOLUTION IN LINGUISTICS
- Traditionally: the focus was to
describe the rules of English usage,
the formal features of English
(grammar);
- Now: the focus was to discover the
ways in which English is actually used
in real communication (Widdowson,
1978).
An example
Look at the utterance: “It’s raining !”
What can you say about this utterance from the
point of view of traditional (focus) of linguistic
study?
Conversation 1:
A: It’s raining !
B: Let’s go out for a walk.
Conversation 2:
A: Why haven’t you cut the grass?
B: It’s raining !
Conversation 3
A: Let’s go out for a walk.
B: It’s raining !
The Origin of ESP (cont.)
- The English we speak and write vary
considerably, in a number of different ways,
from one context to the another   it
should be possible to determine the features
of specific situations  those features
become the ESP course .
- "Tell me what you need English for and I
will tell you the English that you need"
The Origin of ESP (cont.)
3- A FOCUS ON THE LEARNERS
- New development in educational
psychology  ESP
- Emphasis on the central importance
of learners and their attitudes to
learning ;
 Learners have different needs and
interests.
 influence on their motivation to learn
and the effectiveness of learning
 ESP COURSES RELEVANT TO NEEDS
& INTERESTS
II/THE DEVELOPMENT OF ESP
ESP IN THE WORLD HAS DEVELOPED
THROUGH 5 PHASES
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-centered approach
III/ WHAT IS ESP?
DEFINITION
Hutchinson & Waters (1987)
ESP IS AN APPROACH, NOT A 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 etc.,
 ESP is not different in kind from any
other form of language teaching. It
should be based in the first instance on
principles of effective and efficient
learning.
 The root of the tree is still English
language teaching and English language
learning - and communication. So ESP is
an approach not a product
III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)
 " There is … no such thing as an ESP
methodology, merely methodologies that have
been applied in ESP classroom"
Hutchinson and Water (1987)
 " ESP…is an approach to language learning,
which is based on learner need. The foundation
of all ESP is the simple question: Why does this
learner need to learn a foreign language?“
Hutchinson and Water (1987)
III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)
Definition by Strevens (1988)
According to Strevens ESP has 4 absolute
characteristics and 2 variable characteristics
Strevens’ definition (cont.)
The 4 absolute characteristics are:
 ESP is designed to meet the needs of
the learners
 ESP is related in content to particular
disciplines, occupations and activities
 ESP is centered in language appropriate
to those activities in syntax, lexis, discourse,
semantics – and the analysis of the
discourse
 ESP is in contrast with General English
III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)
Strevens’ definition (cont.)
Two variable characteristics are:
 ESP may be restricted as to the learning
skills to be learned
 ESP may not be taught to any pre-ordained
methodology
III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)
Definition of Dudley-Evans (1997)
Dudley –Evans modified Strevens’
definition into 3 Absolute
Characteristics and 5 Variable
Characteristics
Definition of Dudley-Evans (1997) (cont.)
The 3 Absolute characteristics are:
1. ESP is defined to meet specific needs of
the learners
2. ESP makes use of underlying methodology
and activities of the discipline it serves
3. ESP is centered on the language
appropriate to these activities in terms of
grammar, lexis, register, study skills, discourse
and genre.
Definition of Dudley-Evans (1997) (cont.)
The 5 Variable characteristics are:
1. ESP may be related to or designed for
specific disciplines
2. ESP may use, in specific teaching
situations, a different methodology from
that of General English
3. ESP is likely to be designed for adult
learners, either at a tertiary level
institution or in a professional work
situation. It could, however, be for
learners at secondary school level
4. ESP is generally designed for
intermediate or advanced students.
5. Most ESP courses assume some basic
knowledge of the language systems
III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)
 Note that Dudley- Evans has improved
Streven’s definition substantially by
removing the absolute characteristic that
ESP in “in contrast with General English”
and has revised and increased the number
of variable characteristics.
III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)
Robinson (1991) gave 2 criteria and some
characteristics of ESP. The criteria are:
 Goal –directed
 Based on needs analysis
The characteristics are:
 Specific time period  time constraints
 Adult learners, usually not beginners
 Usually homogenous class, but sometimes not
identical students (mixed class)
 Specialist language ???
“So, what is English for Specific Purposes? At this
stage in my career, my answer is this: ESP is
English instruction based on actual and immediate
needs of learners who have to successfully perform
real-life tasks unrelated to merely passing an
English class or exam. ESP is needs based and task
oriented. Teaching ESP is demanding, time
consuming, and different for every group of
students. ESP is a challenge for all who teach it,
and it offers virtually unlimited opportunities for
professional growth.” (Rebecca Smoak, 2003)
“Among the groundbreaking early insights of
ESP practitioners, perhaps most significant
was the realization that teacher intuition and
knowledge of language systems were
insufficient, and that understanding of
language use in specific contexts was essential
(Dudley-Evans & St. John, 1998; Robinson,
1991). (Diane Belcher, 2006)”

THE BEGINNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF ESP.ppt

  • 2. WHAT IS ESP? I/ THE ORIGIN OF ESP ESP came into being because of 3 main reasons: 1- THE DEMAND OF THE POST- WORLD WAR  enormous and unprecedented expansion of scientific, technical and economic activities on an international scale;
  • 3. The Origin of ESP (cont.)  domination of technology and commerce  the role of English;  mass of people learn English, not for pleasure, but because English is the key to help them earn a living;
  • 4. The Origin of ESP (cont.)  Most importantly, the learners know why they need English.  The Oil Crisis of 70'  time and money constraints  cost - effective courses with clearly defined goals  ESP courses “tailored” to specific needs.
  • 5. The Origin of ESP (cont.) 2- A REVOLUTION IN LINGUISTICS - Traditionally: the focus was to describe the rules of English usage, the formal features of English (grammar); - Now: the focus was to discover the ways in which English is actually used in real communication (Widdowson, 1978).
  • 6. An example Look at the utterance: “It’s raining !” What can you say about this utterance from the point of view of traditional (focus) of linguistic study?
  • 7. Conversation 1: A: It’s raining ! B: Let’s go out for a walk.
  • 8. Conversation 2: A: Why haven’t you cut the grass? B: It’s raining !
  • 9. Conversation 3 A: Let’s go out for a walk. B: It’s raining !
  • 10. The Origin of ESP (cont.) - The English we speak and write vary considerably, in a number of different ways, from one context to the another   it should be possible to determine the features of specific situations  those features become the ESP course . - "Tell me what you need English for and I will tell you the English that you need"
  • 11. The Origin of ESP (cont.) 3- A FOCUS ON THE LEARNERS - New development in educational psychology  ESP - Emphasis on the central importance of learners and their attitudes to learning ;
  • 12.  Learners have different needs and interests.  influence on their motivation to learn and the effectiveness of learning  ESP COURSES RELEVANT TO NEEDS & INTERESTS
  • 13. II/THE DEVELOPMENT OF ESP ESP IN THE WORLD HAS DEVELOPED THROUGH 5 PHASES 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-centered approach
  • 14. III/ WHAT IS ESP? DEFINITION Hutchinson & Waters (1987) ESP IS AN APPROACH, NOT A 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 etc.,
  • 15.  ESP is not different in kind from any other form of language teaching. It should be based in the first instance on principles of effective and efficient learning.  The root of the tree is still English language teaching and English language learning - and communication. So ESP is an approach not a product
  • 16. III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)  " There is … no such thing as an ESP methodology, merely methodologies that have been applied in ESP classroom" Hutchinson and Water (1987)  " ESP…is an approach to language learning, which is based on learner need. The foundation of all ESP is the simple question: Why does this learner need to learn a foreign language?“ Hutchinson and Water (1987)
  • 17. III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.) Definition by Strevens (1988) According to Strevens ESP has 4 absolute characteristics and 2 variable characteristics
  • 18. Strevens’ definition (cont.) The 4 absolute characteristics are:  ESP is designed to meet the needs of the learners  ESP is related in content to particular disciplines, occupations and activities  ESP is centered in language appropriate to those activities in syntax, lexis, discourse, semantics – and the analysis of the discourse  ESP is in contrast with General English
  • 19. III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.) Strevens’ definition (cont.) Two variable characteristics are:  ESP may be restricted as to the learning skills to be learned  ESP may not be taught to any pre-ordained methodology
  • 20. III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.) Definition of Dudley-Evans (1997) Dudley –Evans modified Strevens’ definition into 3 Absolute Characteristics and 5 Variable Characteristics
  • 21. Definition of Dudley-Evans (1997) (cont.) The 3 Absolute characteristics are: 1. ESP is defined to meet specific needs of the learners 2. ESP makes use of underlying methodology and activities of the discipline it serves 3. ESP is centered on the language appropriate to these activities in terms of grammar, lexis, register, study skills, discourse and genre.
  • 22. Definition of Dudley-Evans (1997) (cont.) The 5 Variable characteristics are: 1. ESP may be related to or designed for specific disciplines 2. ESP may use, in specific teaching situations, a different methodology from that of General English
  • 23. 3. ESP is likely to be designed for adult learners, either at a tertiary level institution or in a professional work situation. It could, however, be for learners at secondary school level 4. ESP is generally designed for intermediate or advanced students. 5. Most ESP courses assume some basic knowledge of the language systems
  • 24. III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.)  Note that Dudley- Evans has improved Streven’s definition substantially by removing the absolute characteristic that ESP in “in contrast with General English” and has revised and increased the number of variable characteristics.
  • 25. III/ WHAT IS ESP? (cont.) Robinson (1991) gave 2 criteria and some characteristics of ESP. The criteria are:  Goal –directed  Based on needs analysis The characteristics are:  Specific time period  time constraints  Adult learners, usually not beginners  Usually homogenous class, but sometimes not identical students (mixed class)  Specialist language ???
  • 26. “So, what is English for Specific Purposes? At this stage in my career, my answer is this: ESP is English instruction based on actual and immediate needs of learners who have to successfully perform real-life tasks unrelated to merely passing an English class or exam. ESP is needs based and task oriented. Teaching ESP is demanding, time consuming, and different for every group of students. ESP is a challenge for all who teach it, and it offers virtually unlimited opportunities for professional growth.” (Rebecca Smoak, 2003)
  • 27. “Among the groundbreaking early insights of ESP practitioners, perhaps most significant was the realization that teacher intuition and knowledge of language systems were insufficient, and that understanding of language use in specific contexts was essential (Dudley-Evans & St. John, 1998; Robinson, 1991). (Diane Belcher, 2006)”
