English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is a learner-centred approach to English as a second language (ESL), which focuses on building specific language and vocabulary for learners who need to improve a particular area of communication, or to work in a certain industry. Students are also exposed to a specific industry or workplace, giving them real-world communication practice.
ESP programs differ from general English language courses and learners can benefit from the following:
- Designed to meet the specific needs of the learners.
- Related in content (themes and topics) to particular disciplines or occupations.
- Use authentic work-specific documents and materials.
- Promote cultural awareness and seeks to improve intercultural competency.
- Deliver intermediate and advanced level language training with a fixed objective in mind.
- Some students have their own set of needs that might not be addressed by a traditional ESL class.
