The
main principles
4
of teaching
Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) are:
1
Absolute characteristics:
• LSP is designed to meet the specific language
needs of the learner;
• LSP makes use of the underlying enquiry-based methodology and activities of the
discipline it serves;
• LSP is centred on the language (grammar, lexis, register), skills, discourse and
genres appropriate to these activities.
2
Variable characteristics
• LSP may be related to or designed for a specific discipline (LSAP/LSPP – language
for a specific academic/professional purpose) or for a range
of related disciplines
(LGAP/ LGPP
– language for general academic/professional purposes);
•
LSP may use, in specific teaching situations, a different methodology from that of
languages for general purposes (LGP);
• LSP is likely to
be designed for adult learners, either at a tertiary level institution or in
a professional work situation.
• LSP is generally designed for intermediate (B1-B2) or advanced (C1-C2) students.
Most LSP courses assume basic knowledge of the language system, but it can be
used with beginners.
1.4
Autonomous and Independent Learning
The Curriculum is also
intended to encourage learner autonomy, to
give learners greater
control over their learning and to enhance learner awareness of their learning processes
5
:
• Students will be able to set their own language-learning goals
• Students will be able to identify their own weak points and progress working
independently.
• Students will develop the ability to work with professional literature.
Autonomous learning is learning done
without the intervention of the teacher. Students take
responsibility for their own learning. Teachers first need to develop Independent learning:
that is learning that students do by themselves under the direction of the teacher.
