Isi artikel

Increasing numbers of foreign students are coming to the United States for university-level studies. Most go on to professional careers where English is needed for sophisticated and complex uses. Unfortunately, these students and professionals seldom receive English language training adequate for this purpose, either in school or on the job, Using engineering as a case in point, this article argues that there is a growing need for professionally oriented ESL instruction in American colleges, universities, and companies. Such instruction should combine aspects of both ESL and ESP in what is here called "generalized ESP," Two illustrations of this approach-technical communication courses for university students and troubleshooting for technical professionals are discussed.
