1. Gatehouse provides a good overview of the origin of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in the second language. Do you think it continues a tradition of what could be called a communicative approach? What do you think of the variable feature list created by Gatehouse? Do you see potential problems in this list? ESL appears to be one station on a journey that begins with Notions (Wilkins), followed by Widdison's CLT. This station benefits from the progress in the field of linguistics or previous stations. Discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis, and genre analysis have all been useful for ESP. These problems push people like John Swales to start speaking English for specific purposes. From these sentences we can see the effect of CLT on ESP. ESP is a finely tuned version of CLT towards certain areas such as business English, academic English or medical English. The variable lists presented by Gatehouse are broad to include everything. He would say for example that ESP is for adults but younger students can take it. In the other variable, basic knowledge is sufficient for language learners, but beginners can participate in ESP lessons. Additionally, advanced learners will choose General English as they use the language instead of ESP. Therefore, Gatehouse was trying to classify ESP but for me he didn't.2. Gatehouse identifies three types of ESP. Do you see a clear distinction between the options associated with English as a reserved language and the options associated with English for professional purposes? Do you agree with Gatehouse that subject-specific English is not a separate type of ESP? There are areas of overlap in content language acquisition and general language acquisition... middle of the paper... ...shelf with reading and that would strengthen both the skill and the content. Language teaching with SIOP will be vivid and language learners will understand the importance of reading as they use this skill and implement it in their courses instead of learning the language aimlessly. The previous study may suffer from limitations or problems in its instrument, its participants, or something else. In conclusion, for me learning language in context is far better than learning language out of context.7. What did you learn from this week? ESP can facilitate language learners if it presents something that students are familiar with, however believing it completely could trap us as language teachers since ESP does not cover language completely. The problem or problem with ESP is not always clear and is clearly different from general English.
