Despite the growing demand for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction in China, ESP courses are still limited to learning specific lexicon and translating texts. With the continued expansion and participation in the international business arena, much attention should be drawn to the design of ESP courses which can help to prepare learners for future professional communication. In response to these needs, this article is an attempt to provide a guided approach to ESP course design for Chinese senior business students at tertiary level. It first reviews current literature and case studies related to ESP course design. When designing an ESP course, the primary issue is the analysis of learners’ specific needs. Other issues addressed include: determination of realistic goals and objectives; integration of grammatical functions and acquisition skills; and assessment and evaluation. Although ESP contexts view these issues from their own perspectives, the proposed framework for ESP course development is argued as being of benefit to teachers who may encounter problems in ESP course design
