TEACHING ENGLISH AS A PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE: STRATEGIES AND METHODOLOGIES IN ESP EDUCATION
Abstract
The rise of globalization has amplified the necessity for professionals across diverse fields to acquire proficiency in English, not only as a general communicative language but also as a specialized tool within their respective professions. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has emerged as a crucial subset of English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing on the tailored needs of learners in specific fields, such as business, engineering, healthcare, and law. This paper explores effective strategies and methodologies in ESP education, highlighting best practices for teaching English as a professional language. The article discusses key theoretical approaches, pedagogical techniques, and the role of technology in enhancing ESP instruction.
