Abstract

English for Specific Purposes(ESP) focuses on the specific communicative needs of particular professional or occupational groups and it has emerged out of Halliday, Mackintosh and Strevens’work,The linguistic sciences and language teaching(1964).Ever since it has developed rapidly and became a significant issue in English language teaching and research and its interdisciplinarity means not only an openness to the approaches and insights of other fields but also its distinctiveness. In this respect, English for Specific Purposes is related to applied linguistics and discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociocognitive theory, communicative language teaching, rhetoric, critical literacy and all these disciplinary perspectives help us to identify what it stands for.
