TEACHING GRAMMAR IN ESP CLASSES
Journal Title: Knowledge International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
English for Specific purposes is a widely used branch of linguistics which is taught as separate subject in different schools and universities. It is known with the abbreviation ESP. Much is known about ESP generally, but little is known about how much grammar is included in the textbooks aimed for ESP teaching and learning. There are often textbooks published and used in those classes, but grammar is not presented enough in those materials. This paper aims to show that when there is not enough material for teaching grammar in ESP, the teachers should improvise or create some kinds of exercises to fill the gap. These examples shown below are authors’ ideas for few grammar units such as present tense, conditionals and past simple tense. These exercises are more attractive for the learners because they are different from the standard books. This is especially important with the young generations which are somehow bored by being slaves of the books. The paper does not include all branches of ESP but covers only few of them. The authors give definitions of ESP, as part of a literature review and then the examples given start with Business English. Besides, the paper includes other examples of video and text exercises for Medical English and English for Arts.
