Three features common to ESP courses
• Carter (1983) :
a) authentic material,
b) purpose-related orientation, and
c) self-direction.
Authentic Material
• Material should be authentic.
• ESP should be offered at an intermediate or advanced
level
• Closer examination
• Modified or unmodified in form
Purpose-related Orientation
• Orientation lessons must be according to needs and wants of
students.
• Refers to the simulation of communicative tasks
• Student simulation of a conference, involving the
preparation of papers, reading, note taking, and writing
Self-direction

and how to learn.
• Turning learners into users.
• Learners must have a certain degree of freedom to decide
when, what, and how they will study.

Factors Affecting
ESP course design
TWO STRATEGIES to prevent
TERMINOLOGIES confusion.
• English language is associated with England. But the first language spoken in
England was Celtic language.
• After the invasion of Rome in England Latin language came into being.
• Until the 16th century, Latin was the official language in England therefore the
only grammar that was studied from school was Latin.
• With the invasion of Anglo-Saxons, English language begun to develop and there
arise a need of grammar for English language.
I. Classical or Traditional Grammar
ORIGINS OF GRAMMAR
• Traditional grammar prescribe rules, how language should be used, what all
grammatical rules should be followed in a sentence etc.
• By using these rules traditional grammar could separate a sentence into good
sentence and bad sentence.
• Certain rules prescribed by traditional grammar are:
1. Don’t use who instead of whom
Who did you call?
2. A sentence should not begin with and, but.
I. Classical or Traditional Grammar
LIMITATIONS
• It gave importance for writing and won’t let us to write in the way we speak.
• Traditional grammar does not take into account the fact that language undergo
changes.
• Traditional grammar is based on eight parts of speech. This division is done in 5th
century BC for Greek language. But now the number of parts of speech is
questionable. (article, determiners)
II. Structural Linguistics
• Also known as descriptive or modern linguistics/grammar.
• Introduced by Ferdinand de Saussure, who is known as father of
linguistics.
• In America, structural linguistics is introduced by Leonard Bloomfield,
who is known as the father of American linguistics. And Edward Sapir,
Franz Boas, etc.
• Structural linguistics is defined as scientific study of language and its
structure.
• It gave importance for meaning.
II. Structural Linguistics
• It describe language as it used in the text and speech.
• Structural grammarians says that language and
structure of language will change with time.
• For syntactic analysis, structural grammarians use IC
analysis method.

IC ANALYSIS
• Immediate constituent analysis.
• It is introduced by Leonard Bloomfield in 1933 which further
developed by Rulon Wells.
• In IC analysis, a sentence break into many constituents until
one get a meaningful full word.
• First step is to divide a sentence into subject and predicate.
Ex. Poor John ran fast.
II. Structural Linguistics
IC ANALYSIS
• IC analysis have a limitation. It does not indicate grammatical
functions of constituent.
• Mark Halliday types of labels: Class labels: np,vp,adj, articles,
etc. Functional labels: S, O, V
Ex. Poor John ran fast.
II. Structural Linguistics
IC ANALYSIS
Poor John ran fast
(NP) (s) (VP)
Poor John ran fast.
S V O
