CHAPTER I
The Purpose of the Journal
The journal "Challenges of Teaching and Learning English Language for ESP Courses" by
Miranda Enesi et al. presents a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by teachers and
learners in teaching and learning English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. The authors
highlight the importance of ESP in universities due to the widespread use of English in technology
and specialized fields. They identify several challenges that ESP teachers encounter, including
difficulties in giving and receiving feedback, unfamiliarity with the genre of ESP subjects, and
lack of familiarity with some specialized terminology
The study emphasizes the need for ESP courses to be tailored to the specific needs of
learners and their professions. It suggests that ESP lecturers should use more than one coursebook
and incorporate materials drawn from real-life scenarios to introduce a new and effective approach
to teaching ESP. The authors also stress the importance of compiling adequate syllabuses based
on the five skills, including grammar, and of providing students with the skills and vocabulary
required in their studies and professions
The challenges faced by ESP learners include students of different levels of proficiency in
English in the same class, lack of student motivation, and insufficient teaching hours. The study
recommends that ESP teachers should focus on teaching students to communicate effectively and
should use authentic materials and tasks that reflect real-world language use
Overall, the journal provides valuable insights into the challenges of teaching and learning
English for ESP courses and offers practical suggestions for overcoming these challenges. It
highlights the importance of ESP in universities and emphasizes the need for ESP courses to be
designed with a deep understanding of the learners' needs and contexts
2.2 Summary of Comparative Journal
The journal "ESP Coursebook Design: Issues to Consider and Design-Based Research as an
Effective Solution" by Eva Ellederová presents a comprehensive approach to designing English
for Specific Purposes (ESP) coursebooks, emphasizing the importance of incorporating design-
based research principles. The author highlights the need for ESP coursebooks to be tailored to the
specific needs of learners and the contexts in which they will apply their English skills. She argues
that traditional ESP coursebook design often neglects the complexities of real-world language use,
leading to a disconnect between the coursebook content and the learners' needs.To address this
issue, Ellederová proposes a design-based research approach that involves a collaborative process
between ESP coursebook designers, language learners, and instructors. This approach involves
several key principles:
3. Authenticity: ESP coursebooks should incorporate authentic materials and tasks that
reflect real-world language use, rather than relying on artificial or contrived examples.
4. Flexibility: The coursebook design should allow for flexibility and adaptability, enabling
instructors to tailor the content to the specific needs of their learners.
5. Iterative Design: The design process should involve ongoing iteration and refinement,
incorporating feedback from learners, instructors, and other stakeholders to ensure that the
coursebook meets the evolving needs of the learners.
By incorporating these design principles, ESP coursebooks can be designed to better support
learners in developing the specific language skills they need for their professional and personal
lives. Ellederová concludes that a design-based research approach can lead to more effective and
engaging ESP coursebooks that are grounded in a deep understanding of the learners' needs and
contexts
CHAPTER III
Strength and Weakness
4.1 Conclusion
Both journals, "Challenges of Teaching and Learning English Language for ESP Courses" by
Miranda Enesi et al. and "An ESP Coursebook Design Principles Grounded in Design-Based
Research" by Eva Ellederová, offer significant insights into the complexities of ESP coursebook
design and the challenges faced by instructors and learners alike. These studies highlight the
importance of ESP in contemporary educational settings, particularly in the context of
technological advancements and specialized fields.
The authors of these journals emphasize the need for ESP coursebooks to be tailored to the
specific needs of learners and the contexts in which they will apply their English skills. They also
underscore the significance of incorporating design-based research principles into the development
of ESP coursebooks to ensure that they are grounded in empirical data and meet the evolving needs
of learners.
The journals' findings are particularly relevant in today's educational landscape, where ESP
courses are increasingly crucial for students to succeed in their academic and professional pursuits.
The challenges identified in these studies, such as difficulties in giving and receiving feedback,
unfamiliarity with ESP subjects, and lack of familiarity with specialized terminology, are common
issues faced by ESP instructors and learners worldwide. By presenting practical solutions to
overcome these challenges, the authors of these journals provide valuable guidance for ESP
instructors seeking to enhance their teaching practices and improve learner outcomes.
Furthermore, the journals contribute to the development of ESP coursebook design theories by
highlighting the importance of incorporating design-based research principles into the
development process. This approach ensures that ESP coursebooks are designed with a deep
understanding of the learners' needs and contexts, which is critical for effective language learning
and teaching. The journals' emphasis on the need for ESP coursebooks to be grounded in empirical
data and designed with the learners' needs in mind underscores the significance of a collaborative
approach between ESP coursebook designers, language learners, and instructors.In conclusion,
both journals provide valuable insights into the complexities of ESP coursebook design and the
challenges faced by teachers and learners. While they have limitations, they contribute to the
development of ESP coursebook design theories and offer practical suggestions for overcoming
challenges. The journals' findings are particularly relevant in today's educational landscape, where
ESP courses are increasingly crucial for students to succeed in their academic and professional
pursuits.
