Ebook Description
ESP English for Specific Purposes involves teaching and learning the specific skills and language needed by particular learners fur a particular purpose. The P in ESP is always a professional purpose - a set of skills that learners currently need in their work or will need in their professional careers.
This broad definition can be taken to include business skills, such as English for Job-hunting or Presentations, but many ESP teachers sec their field as distinct from mainstream Business English. Preparation for an exam (such as the Cambridge PET or First Certificate) is not usually considered to be ESP (even though there is a particular reason for studying).
