Study Notes
Types of ESP
- Identified by David Carter in 1983 as three distinct categories of English for Specific Purposes (ESP).
- Categories include English as a restricted language, English for Academic and Occupational Purposes (EAP/EOP), and English with specific topics.
English as a Restricted Language
- Mackay and Mountford (1978) define restricted language as "special," characterized by a limited vocabulary that is situationally defined.
- SEASPEAK: A restricted language for maritime communications, adopted in 1988 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore interactions.
- AIRSPEAK: Established post-World War II by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for air traffic control, also known as Aviation English.
English for Academic and Occupational Purposes
- EAP focuses on learners needing English to study specific fields of interest.
- EOP caters to learners using English to perform job-related tasks.
- Hutchinson and Waters (1987) support Carter's view that EAP and EOP share similar goals but differ in their approaches and dynamics.
English with Specific Topics
- This category emphasizes determining the linguistic needs of learners before creating ESP materials.
- Tailors the curriculum to address the specific needs of learners to prepare them for future endeavors.
