THE FUTURE OF ESP STUDIES: WHAT STRATEGIES TO USE FOR EFFECTIVE SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES
English is a means of communication taught in different
fields to achieve occupational and academic purposes
around the globe. Thus, English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
is one of the challenges trying to transform teaching and
learning into a process, which focuses on the development
of professional skills, enables students to become successful
learners of the target language, and makes them more aware
of the local and global environments.
Through this conference, we will try to analyze key
challenges that teachers and learners face in classrooms and
suggest a way of integrating soft and hard skills. Our aim is
to bring researchers to study the existing ESP literature in
terms of presence of global issues, explore the perceptions
of global issues among university students, outline the
correlation between professional skills and global
competence, and enhance the teaching of ESP in this field.
We will not only expose our work but also discuss the
future of English for Specific Purposes, and suggest ways
to use it effectively in their field of study for scientific
purposes
