Developing Courses In English For Specific Purposes
Paperback Edition: 1
Developing Courses in English for Specific Purposes provides an accessible introduction to the topic of developing courses for learners with specific academic or work-related language needs.
Part One introduces three key considerations in developing ESP courses: analysing needs; investigating specialist discourse and determining the curriculum. Part Two presents four case studies showing how experienced ESP teachers set about developing courses to meet the distinctive needs of their particular learners, the decisions they made and the reasoning behind them.
The book takes the stance that much can be learned by examining the practice of ESP teachers and course developers as well as the literature. The work refers to a wide range of ESP courses and includes discussion questions to encourage readers to reflect on the ideas described. The work will be of interest to students on TESOL courses and to prospective and practising teachers of ESP.
