Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on establishing the role of ARMs – authentic resource materials in the process of teaching and learning English for Special Purposes (ESP), with an overview of English for Medical Purposes (EMP). Thus, any content of an ESP/EMP syllabus should be determined by the learners’ reasons for studying English. This has led to a change in the role that teachers and the used materials have in specialized English classes compared to general English. They are required to work actively with the learners and medical subject teachers in order to create a syllabus that would promote effective learning.
