English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has seen relatively little attention to the design of courses and the development of materials for specific subjects taught in a Faculty of Arts. The needs of the undergraduate Arts student studying for a general Arts degree (e.g. Philosophy, History, or French) are not catered for in published materials. This is particularly so where ESL students are studying in a new academic cultural context and where there is also exposure to the-demands of different and sometimes entirely new disciplinary cultures. This paper outlines the design and development of a course at the University of Zimbabwe aimed to meet the needs of ESL students studying in the Faculty of Arts. The development of Critical Language Awareness in relation to general and subject specific study skills is discussed. The term 'Critical Communication Skills' (CCS) is introduced and defined. An outline is given of a two part course. In Part One students work through materials which address CCS in relation to subject of common interest - the media in South Africa. In Part Two the demands of studying specific subjects are presented (e.g. Philosophy). The course is discussed in relation to ESP and critical skills development for use beyond university study.
