Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is a dynamic and practical branch of English language teaching that focuses on equipping learners with the language skills required in specific professional or academic contexts. This article explores the theoretical background of ESP, its practical applications in different domains such as academic, medical, and business contexts, and the challenges teachers face in curriculum design, material development, and assessment. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of needs analysis and the balance between content knowledge and language teaching expertise in delivering effective ESP instruction.
