Abstract: My current research is an attempt to understand English for Specific 
Purposes (ESP). A very important area of ELT by embracing the efforts of 
various linguists to define it. We trace its historical growth, discuss its 
characteristics, and try to understand its scope. It is intended to address the 
specific needs of EFL/ESL learners. Many conflicting opinions have been 
reported on the definition of ESP, but there seems to be some consensus. Finally, 
it is limited to teaching English to learners with specific goals and purpose: 
These goals may be professional, academic, or scientific in nature. 
Keywords: English for specific purposes, characteristics, specific needs, 
authentic material 
An extremely important area of discussion among ESP researchers has been the 
inclusion of specialized contents in ESP courses. The first phase of ESP that 
lasted till the beginning of 1960’s, confined itself to the teaching materials 
consisted of authentic texts in different fields of specialization (Hutchinson and 
Waters, 1987). Furthermore “S” stands for “specific” suggests that ESP “can be 
differentiated from general EFL/ESL by its concern with specialized language 
and practice”(Hadley, 2006, p. 3). Wales (1993, p. 4) presented the following 
“specific factors of pedagogical concern” while discussing the reasons of 
including general English in workplace (ESP) courses.
“They are:
1. that there are linguistic relationships between general and specific English. 2. 
that learners’ perceived needs may include general as well as specific English.
3. that learners’ L2 proficiency level may require general skill development”.
St. Johns and Dudley-Evans (1991, p. 307) contended that ESP includes “all 
courses in specialized language and practice”. It has been stated that “if a subject 
such as medicine or computing is taught in English, this is not in itself ESP 
teaching; it is content teaching. ESP has to involve teaching of the language as 
well as the skills associated with --- EGAP ---- ESAP” (Dudley-Evans, 1997, p. 9). 
Inclusion of contents of target subjects seems an integral part of any ESP 
program. “The contents of teaching materials should be relevant to their needs 
and also convey new information for students” (Chantrupanth, 1993, p. 9). 
Adamson (1997, p. 65) explained his experience of developing and teaching ESP 
course for nurses at Miyagi University and concluded that “ESP through content
