This volume presents a range of views about language, learning, and
teaching in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Its purpose is to
go beyond individual cases and practices to examine the approaches
and ideas on which they are based. The aim is for readers to adopt
an analytical stance toward the field and to identify current
perspectives in ESP and the ideas driving them. Ideas and Options
in English for Specific Purposes does not promote any one approach,
but rather identifies and illustrates those in evidence today. The
main emphasis is on the links between theory and ESP teaching and
research. Ideas from linguistics, sociolinguistics, education, SLA,
and social theories are described. Links are then made between
these ideas and ESP course designs, instructional materials, and
research projects. Thus the book moves back and forth between
descriptions of theories, teaching practice, and research. Part I
introduces the book's approach to description of ESP and the
framework used to investigate it. Part II examines ideas of
language, learning, and teaching in ESP. Recognizing that ESP is
taught in many different countries and contexts, the author draws
on a wide range of examples of teaching practice and research from
around the world and from different branches of ESP, including
English for Academic Purposes, English for Professional Purposes,
and English for Vocational Purposes. From Chapter 3 onward, each
chapter includes Questions for Discussion and Projects, to
encourage readers to research and analyze the practices of ESP in
their own contexts and to consider the ideas they draw on in their
own teaching. This text is geared toward graduate-level TESOL
education courses.
