English for Specific Purposes, Methodology II

Some scholars will simply describe ESP as the teaching of English for any purpose that could be specified. Others, however, were more precise, describing it as the teaching of English for academic studies or the teaching of English for vocational or occupational purposes.
In terms of absolute characteristics, ESP consists of English language teaching which is (i) designed to meet specified needs of the learner, (ii) related in content (i.e. in its themes and topics) to particular disciplines, occupations and activities, (ii) centered on the language appropriate to those activities in syntax, lexis, discourse, semantics, etc., and analysis of this discourse, and (iv) in contrast with General English. In terms of variable characteristics, ESP may be, but is not necessarily, (i) restricted as to the language skills to be learned (e.g. reading only), and (ii) not taught according to any pre-ordained methodology.

Methodology II (Day)

ESP could be English in contexts such as: academic settings, bussiness, exam preparation, private tutoring. The first step is to apply a needs analysis (interview, survey, test, among others). After that, you tabulate and draw conclusions to design your syllabus. This work has to include the following:

-Results of the needs analysis.

-Rationale.

-General objectives (in the required skills).

-Specific objectives and activities per session (10 sessions, 3 hrs. each).

-Assessment.

-Sample material for ONE session.

I hope you enjoy this project. It is an opportunity to learn and put your ideas in practice.
