Description
For example a doctor who whishes to work in an English speaking country will need ESP biasesd towards medical English; a footballer from Italy signed to an English club will need English related to that sport.
This ESP course tend to be very specific and tailored to suit each student.
ESP can be general in nature (English for Hotel Employees, for example, who deal with the public) or highly specific and related to a single task (English for writting CV, Resumes, for example).
Materials
I will need to know specific vocabulary for the subject and the basic concept to be explored by the student. In many cases this can be covered by reading a book or two but a very useful aid is have the students provide this information which will not only help me as the teacher but also help them. I will also use the internet to find and download specialised knowledge!
Because coursebooks tend to be very generic, I often find myself having to write my own materials for a class. Sometimes these can be adapted from existing general materials, but more often they will be specifically tailored to, a particular problem a student might have or needs to practice.
