Description
English For Specific Purposes is an international peer-reviewed journal that welcomes submissions from
across the world. Authors are encouraged to submit articles and research/discussion notes on topics relevant to the teaching and learning
of discourse for specific communities: academic, occupational, or otherwise specialized. Topics such as the following may be treated
from the perspective of English for specific purposes: second language acquisition in specialized contexts, needs assessment, curriculum
development and evaluation, materials preparation, discourse analysis, descriptions of specialized varieties of English, teaching and
testing techniques, the effectiveness of various approaches to language learning and language teaching, and the training or retraining
of teachers for the teaching of ESP. In addition, the journal welcomes articles and discussions that identify aspects of ESP needing
development, areas into which the practice of ESP may be expanded, possible means of cooperation between ESP programs and learners' professional
or vocational interests, and implications that findings from related disciplines can have for the profession of ESP. The journal also
carries reviews of scholarly books on topics of interest to the profession.
