A/ESP

1) The different factors that led to the growth of ESP are:


a. The rising demand for English language skills in various professional fields such as
business, medicine, and engineering.
b. The globalization of the economy and the need for effective communication in
c. The development of technology, which has facilitated communication and
collaboration across borders.
d. The realization of English as a global language and the need for specialized
language training to meet specific professional needs.
2) a/ The distinction between English for Academic purposes (EAP) and English for
Occupational purposes (EOP) English for academic purposes (EAP) focuses on
developing the language skills needed for academic study, such as: writing essays,
presentations, and understanding academic texts. Otherwise, English for occupational
purposes (EOP) is fitted to the specific language needs of a particular profession or
workplace, such as medical or business English. (EOP) aims to help individuals
communicate effectively in their professional environment and may include
vocabulary and skills relevant to their specific field.
b/ Characteristics of ESP
1. ESP is defined to meet specific needs of the learners
2. ESP makes use of underlying methodology and activities of the discipline it
serves
3. ESP is centered on the language appropriate to these activities in terms of
grammar, lexis,
register, study skills, discourse and genre.
3) The main between ESP and EGP

ESP EGP
-Syllabi determined in -Use and development of -Syllabi determined and
advance of teaching authentic materials based on a course
-Material based on -Communicative approach -Use of "cooked"
students' needs -Communicative materials
-Analysis of learners' competence -Analysis of linguistic
needs -Use of skills and needs
-Bottom-up approach strategies in the target -Top-down approach
-Teacher and students are language -Teacher is the expositor
in a cooperative position and students are the
listeners
4) Main phases of ESP development
Stages of ESP development: 1st stage focused on language at the sentence
level. 2nd phase shifted attention the level above the sentence (putting
into play discourse or rhetorical analyses).

• Thus, the main focus of register analysis is on how sentences were


combined in discourse to produce meaning.

5) No, English is not needed for study reason only but there are other
reasons such as: job needed, travel, communication, writing articles,
experiments, science, technology ….

B/ applied Linguistic
