Considerations on the Use of Skills Centred Course Design in ESP Classes at Higher Education Level

Summary/Abstract: An appropriately designed course of ESP at higher education level might prove to be a valuable resource in the process of training future professionals, regardless of their specialization. From among the different types of approaches that may be used in designing a course at higher education level, we believe that the skills-centred one offers outstanding advantages to the trainees and effective teaching tools to the trainer. The present paper discusses the advantages as well as shortcomings of the skills centred course design in relationship to the other course design approaches as well as in relationship to the specialized types of discourse to be taught.
