    Study Notes

    English Grammar

    • Relative pronouns: who for people, that for things, and where for places
    • Examples:
      • She worked for a man who used to be a politician.
      • I dropped a glass that was new.
      • The girl who works in the bank is from India.
      • Portoviejo is the city where the earthquake happened in 2016.

    Expressing Wishes

    • To express a wish, use the verb in the past tense
    • Examples:
      • I wish I had a car.
      • I wish I could go on holiday.

    English for Specific Purposes (ESP)

    • Focuses on the needs of learners in their real-world contexts
    • Pragmatic in its results
    • Contrasted with General English, which focuses on the development of a high standard of everyday English communication skills

    History of ESP

    • Emerged as a need after the Second World War due to the expansion in scientific, technical, and economic activities
    • Rahman, M. (2015) points out that after the Second World War, the world changed, and it was necessary to adapt to the teaching of English to the new demands

    Characteristics of ESP Courses

    • Designed with the vocabulary and tasks that people need to be effective in their profession
    • Fiorito (2022) states that it is necessary to focus on what students need because there is no time to develop other skills
    • Examples of ESP courses:
      • English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
      • English for Professional Purposes (EPP)
      • English for Occupational Purposes (EOP)

    Assessment in ESP

    • Formative assessment: usually does not require grades, e.g., in-class discussions, clicker questions, group work
    • Summative assessment: evaluates student learning through standardized tests, exams, final projects
    • Rahman, M. (2015) states that formative assessment is based on student participation, but summative assessment is based on the grade students get

    Validity and Reliability

    • Validity: measures what it is intended to measure
    • Reliability: produces consistent results
    • Fiorito (2022) claims that a test that measures student intelligence by asking students to do push-ups is reliable but not valid

    Authentic Materials

    • Designed for native speakers, not for language learners
    • Examples: newspaper articles, radio advertisements
    • Rock, A. (2022) states that authentic materials are designed for native speakers, not for language learners
