  1. The main areas of society that follow and apply English responding to the basic research of linguistic descriptions, which specify methodological concern with second language acquisition in specialized contexts, curriculum, assessments, materials, techniques and preparation, the most important here is that students who are involve, usually have some acquaintances with English as learning languages, in order to communicate professional skills. On the other hand, ESP involves teaching and learning skills that learners currently need in their work or will need in their professional careers. In a nutshell, teachers see their field as distinct from English business, which combines subjects matte and English language teaching, business management, economics, computer sciences or tourism. to tell the true, Esp is the perception occurring independently of hearing, sight, which consist itself experiences and then interpretation of it

  4. Our daily educational experience can be enriched by learning in culturally, socially and linguistically diverse classroom, because we learn from others who experiences and beliefs are different than ours. However teachers who teach a second language, they have to be aware and affecting learning each of them. Also participant´s behavior are similar to what they think is in their environment. Moreover acquire a second language nobody have the conditions in the learning, that is to say that, factor that affect a second language learning are divided into knowledge factors and emotional factor, For instance the attitude that participants have to learn, interpret and how to apply in the society through their capabilities, skills and knowledge in order to communicative with others.

  6. English for specific purposes is an approach to teaching English focusing communication in a specific discipline. ESP is more concentrated on language in context, for this reason, I think teachers have to recognize the ways their skills could be adapted for the teaching of English for a specific purpose. Within this approach we can find some characteristics, for example is designed to meet the specific needs of the learners and improve intercultural competence, promoting cultural awareness.

  7. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is a learner-centered approach to teaching English, which focuses on developing communicative competence in a specific discipline such as academics, accounting, agrology, business, IT, teaching, and engineering, which are the main areas of society that apply ESP.
    English for Specific Purposes is defined to meet specific needs of the learners and it is centered on the language appropriate to these activities in terms of grammar, lexis, register, study skills, discourse and genre.
    This kind of teaching is an important information that we, as teachers, should know and recognize, because we can apply it depending on the context we are teaching English.
    This is and interesting video and shows us how ESP works, how students are involved in context where they can practice this Business English and how they learn by using this kind of books which are focused on what they need.

  9. Technology is usefull in the learning on the student because it help him to find information taken in many points that enrich the knowledge about something, in case of teaching, the teacher have many tolos for trasmita ll the information.
    The ESP is the use of the english for explain some other topics, in our case as a foreing language it help us to understand not only the gramar of the english, also to work with another subjects as the mathemathics and use it in the daily routines.
    I think that the ESP improve the english and teach u show to use it in diferents ways, when i learn about mammals i learn how to teach it to my students.
    The video show us how the ESP influence in the globalization and in the manage of the bussines for the people that understand not only the foreign language, also the bussines language.

  10. ESP is a learner centered approach to teaching English as an additional language, which focuses on developing communicative competence in a specific discipline such as academics, accounting, agrology, business, IT, teaching, and engineering. Students are also exposed to Canadian workplace or academic culture and real world communication practice.
    Technology, nowadays acts as a facilitator to obtain information of any kind, when we try to raise the ESP with technology, we may obtain as a result, the acquisition of information and knowledge about any area in English and make use of it, and either academic or professional way.
    ESP is a manner to use the English not like subject, it’s more like a tool for teaching others topics; it covers subjects varying from accounting or computer science to tourism and business management.
    5-What do you think about the video?
    Particularly, this video shows, what is the importance of the ESP and how it has helped people in obtaining a new vocabulary, motivation and fluency in different aspects in their business or jobs

  11. ESP is an interesting approach because it provides teachers a general idea about how to teach english in an expecific pollution, also esp provides teachers the proper tools in teaching learning process.
    on the other hand esp promotes tics as an important part of the learning process, because students learn in an autonomous way and learn while they are ejoying.

  12. There are two forces around the World, such as: Technology and Commerce. English has been the key to the international currencies of technology and commerce. ESP (English for Specific Purposes). is a way of language teaching and learning. On the other hand, ESP is based on how people learn and is a good tool to design courses to get learners' needs. According to the video, it is important to talk about technology due to the fact that Technology gives us important and suitable tools to teach a language. We as future English teachers have to develop good strategies to teach in a good way, that is, we must ease the learning of our learners through academic strategies in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of our learners. To sum up, ESP give teachers goods strategies to teach in a good way taking into account the needs of our students.

  13. Nowadays a lot of English learners have a special needs and requirements, some of them just want to learn English in order to get communicative skills others beyond that want to learn some specific aspect of their own job or any particular field of knowledge.
    In order to provide this knowledge to students it is important to take into account what are they really interested in learn and wich are they lacks and strengthens; teacher must be a facilitator and a companion in this process, he should provide all material that allows an affect teaching, looking for different approaches and sources of specific knowledge.
    Also we can say that learning English for specific purposes is a more complex and demanding work than just learn it for general purposes; specific purposes surround a lot of components that should give the teachisng and learning process

  14. * ESP: English for Specific Purposes is a way where the AIM is the need of the learner.
    * I think it is very useful because each person has a different reason to learn english and the teacher should have the correct way to teach in order that the students achieve their goals
    * in my opinion when somebody ask me where can they study english i just answer them . ¿why do you want to learn it ? cause if you wont be a teacher you dont need to be full of grammar rules you only need to develop speaking skills.
