Dear students in English for Specific Purposes:

Due to the conflicting nature of our schedules for this semester, and due to your need to finish your academics this semester in order to go on practice teacher next semester, we are taking our course English for Specific Purposes online.

Please download our main text, “English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Syllabus Design” from the link below:


Read the Introduction including the topics “ESP: Definition” and “The Meaning of the Word ‘Special’ in ESP” on pp. 97-99.

Reflect on what you have read and write an essay (at least a hundred words long) using the following:

What is English for Specific Purposes? How is it different from English for General Purposes? Give examples.

You may want to also refer to the tree diagram on page 105.

Post your answers as a comment below.

Sir G
