Intercultural Communication and Difficulties of Teaching English in ESP Classes

Abstract

This article discusses intercultural communication and difficulties of teaching English in ESP classes. The main task of teaching foreign languages as a means of communication between people of different nations and cultures is that languages should be studied in enduring unity with the world and culture of the people who speak these languages. A most promising and basic challenge for teachers of foreign languages is achieving maximum development of communication skills. The question arises, how is this to be solved? Some considerations would be to develop new teaching methods that aim at improving language proficiency. Creating fundamentally new educational materials that could be used to teach people how to communicate effectively. At the same time, of course, it would be wrong to rush from one extreme to another and give up all the old techniques of teaching. Careful selection of the best, most useful, authenticated teaching practice, would be especially necessary for the purposes of specific professional situations.
