Teaching ESAP (English for Special Academic Purposes)

P. 172–179.

Baranovskaya T.

The main objective of this article is to raise teachers’ awareness of what is happening in the field of EAP and ESP. The idea came from the necessity of collaboration of EAP and ESP courses and was extended to a mixture of theory and practice with particular focus on the learners. There seemed to be a general lack of knowledge about ESAP.

ESAP is thus an important area of ELT, accounting for a large amount of EAP and ESP activity worldwide. In the case of ESAP the ability to produce good quality teaching materials that fit the needs of the learners is essential.
