This volume offers research-based studies on English for Specific
Purposes in higher education from across the world. By drawing on
international studies, the book brings together diverse ESP
practices and aspects of relevant issues in the development of ESP
programs, teachers and learners in a coherent fashion. There is a
growing need for undergraduate students to develop their
proficiency of ESP skills and knowledge in the increasingly
globalized world. Knowledge of ESP is an important factor in
subject matter learning by students, and also closely related to
the performance of university graduates in the relevant sectors.
Careful planning and efficient implementation are essential to
ensure the quality of the language learning process. For a variety
of reasons, it proves difficult to maintain ESP instruction in
higher education. These reasons include the incompetence of
teachers, lack of materials for that specific context, as well as
lack of opportunities for ESP teachers to develop their skills. The
chapters in this book, taken from a wide variety of countries, shed
light on the diversity of current practices and issues surrounding
ESP.
