 Historical
Post-World War II
After the end of World War II, the world, driven by
global trade, recognized the need to learn English as
it was considered the accepted international
language. Non-native speakers saw it as a new lingua

Economic Developments
In the 1960s, ESP rapidly developed in response to
global economic advancements, technological
progress, and an increase in the number of foreign
students studying in English-speaking countries. ESP
began to focus on the analysis of scientific and
technical writing, with a special emphasis on semi-
technical or sub-technical vocabulary.
 Historical
Rhetorical Approach and
Discourse Analysis
ESP started to prioritize the rhetorical functions of
language over its form. ESP's discourse analysis
aimed to answer questions about why and how
sentences were formed and combined in specific
contexts, leading to in-depth text research and
analysis.
