Author Description

This is an essential title in the toolkit of any writer of English for Specific Purposes materials. No two English learners have the same requirements in the world of ESP. As a result, ESP teachers often find that generic published material doesn't work and that they need to write material for the specific needs of their students. This book examines the principle areas of concern for the ESP materials-writer: real-world tasks, authentic materials, vocabulary and ultimately the need to maximize opportunities for learners to improve language performance in their given professional environment. This book provides: - a simple but adaptable framework to help you design your own ESP materials, regardless of the area in which you teach.- examples from a wide variety of ESP fields.- practical tasks with detailed keys and a glossary.- a guide to highlight the different steps involved in producing your own ESP materials.This book forms part of the ELT Teacher 2 Writer training course. The course is designed to help you write better ELT materials, either for publication, or simply to improve the quality of your self-produced classroom materials
