Concentrating at first on scientific and technological English, in later years the course has also included English for vocational purposes. The students in the course, like most potential and practising EFL/ESL teachers, have a humanities background; further, they have learned their English according to the traditional, “general” English system. Accordingly, they come to the EST teacher-training course with five main types of problems: attitudinal, conceptual, linguistic, methodological, and organisational. A combination of theoretical and practical classes has been designed to overcome these problems. By careful planning and patient teaching the course builds an entirely new, integrated conceptual network for the students. Not only the content of the course, but also the methodology used in its presentation can serve as a frame of reference for other institutions planning preservice or inservice teacher training in EST/ESP.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101229,"journal":{"name":"The ESP Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 9-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0272-2380(83)90007-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80263827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that all uses of English are specific in their nature, and that all teaching of English as a Foreign Language should be addressed to specific purposes. Three approaches towards this end are discussed: the use of simulated purposes within the classroom, the use of real purposes external to the classroom, and the use of relevant literature. It is argued that an ESP course should be characterised by the use of authentic materials, an orientation to purposeful activities on the part of the learners, and self-access organisation of the learning. Three approaches to appropriate methodology are discussed—the approach through register, through discourse, and through study skills.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101229,"journal":{"name":"The ESP Journal","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 131-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0272-2380(93)90003-P","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86597957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
