Journal Title: Науковий вісник Міжнародного гуманітарного університету. Серія «Філологія» - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
The article has proposed a brief analysis of key notions about English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and examined major ideas and basic concepts that currently influence ESP. Our scientific research has provided the definitions and the distinction between General English (GE) and English for Specific Purposes, as well as the differences of ESP types. As a specific approach to language teaching, ESP requires that all decisions as to content and method be based on the learner’s goals for learning. English for Specific Purposes is considered in this study as a learner-centered approach that emphasizes the importance of creating learning opportunities that improve students’ learning. This work also reviews the theoretical background concerning the Communicative Approach to foreign language teaching. Such an approach focuses less on the formal structures, but more on the functional aspects of language, or the use of language in everyday situations.
