INTRODUCTION

 

This Manual is a guide to the graduate instruction in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Step-by-step procedures are outlined for assessing students’ needs, setting achievable goals, and selecting appropriate materials and activities for the classroom. Out of the four language skills the Manual describes three – reading, writing, and speaking, and provides suggestions for employing these skills as well as grammar and analysis skills.

The Manual does focus on the special case in teaching English as a tool of transnational communication: teaching English for Specific Purposes, and the particular ways by which professional objectives should be structured for the mastering of ESP.

Being a graduate student of English you have had a four-year long previous experience learning English as a second language (ESL) or English as a foreign language (EFL), and your first question on receiving your current assignment to learn ESP may be: "How is ESP different from ESL?"
