Terminology Teaching Strategies in the English for Specific Purposes Class
Terminology Teaching Strategies in the English for Specific Purposes Class

Summary/Abstract: Terminology in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes is a central issue. Specific purposes actually suppose, most of the times, a particularly lexical focus, considering that language does not change in terms of structures as we move across different jargons (technical one, in our particular case). Yet, the literature also speaks of specific structural features in the case of technical English, all of them supporting the final general goal of conciseness and objectivity. Our paper aims at presenting several teaching techniques that we have researched and afterwards applied in class with a view to introducing terminology to undergraduate students of technical specialisations. Our focus is on the specificity of the strategies and on both the presumed and the effective results.
