ESP: Strategy for Language Development
Keywords:
English language, ESP, Curriculum design, Multi-disciplinary ApproachAbstract
The Ethnicity of the English language makes it a conglomerate of diverse cultures, groups, and languages, giving it an accommodative nature. It became hegemonic for historical and economic reasons, creating the need to study and teach it arduously. The multi-disciplinary approach in Science & Technology, Economics, Education, Business, trade, etc., has channeled the avenues for English teaching in English as a Second language, Business English, Technical English, English for Specific Purposes, and English as a Foreign language. However, proficiency in the English language remains marginal due to the language learning styles, curriculum, and emerging trends in the academic disciplines of the English language. The commercial opportunities, language learning framework, students' cultural background, and assessments need equal magnitudes and collaboration for holistic language learning and development.
The present paper is a model designed for processing holistic language learning styles in differentiated ESP for Yoga trainers; in the light of the Language learning framework of the Sanatan literature of India
