Given these profiles, a truly symbiotic relationship can be established in ESP courses. Teachers can learn with their students more about the latter’s professional practices, while students can learn how to use English successfully at their workplaces. ESP can therefore be seen as a collaborative partnership where there is a real information gap and a communication need between teachers and students. [1] One of the most important things in teaching ESP is that, firstly, the teacher must have a thorough knowledge of the field in which he or she teaches. If there is the higher the level of knowledge of the teacher, the more knowledge will move forward. Next significant step is for the teacher to gather the necessary materials. It should be noted that each teacher must prepare materials based on the level of knowledge of the learners and their needs instead of using ready-made ones. Materials writing is one of the most characteristic features of ESP in practice. In marked contrast to General English teaching, a large amount of the ESP teacher's time may well be taken up in writing materials. There are a number of reasons for this: a) A teacher or institution may wish to provide teaching materials that will fit the specific subject area of particular learners. Such materials may not be available commercially. In addition to the profusion of subject specialisms, there is also a wide range of course types. Whereas schools, for example, work to standard timetables with a similar number of hours, ESP courses can vary from one week of intensive study to an hour a week for three years or more. Publishers are naturally reluctant to produce materials for very limited markets. The cost of producing and marketing a book is much the same regardless of whether it sells one thousand copies or one hundred thousand copies. It is likely, then, that a course tailored to the needs of a specific group of ESP learners will not be available. b) Even when suitable materials are available, it may not be possible to buy them because of currency or import restrictions. c) ESP materials may also be written for non-educational reasons: for example, in order to enhance the reputation of an institution or an individual. Materials are a visible product of activity, regardless of whether such activity is useful or even necessary. For these and other reasons, there is already an established tradition of ESP teachers producing in-house materials.[2]. When trying to explain any success or failure in English language learning, motivation is often used as a key factor which determines the rate of success. This affective variable plays an even more important role when English is learned for specific purposes. Motivating learners by the teachers has a positive effect on the level of knowledge of learners, helping them to acquire knowledge quickly and efficiently. |
