Training ESP Students in Language Awareness and Analysis

Summary/Abstract: ESP teaching is not a mere continuation of ELT focus and approaches, but an altogether different educational paradigm with paramount final language learning consequences for the main stakeholders: university students enrolled on business English courses with a view to language mastery and practical use in their future careers. This article attempts to make a case for the role of the ESP teacher as an empowering factor in students’ independence and assumption of responsibility towards success in using English as a future workplace skill. A theoretical section outlines the rationale of the author’s argument, complemented by a practical hands-on demonstration in the form of a concise guide for ESP teachers at tertiary level.
