Abstract

English for Specific Purposes is introduced to take care of individual differences of learners - it is learner-centred oriented. This principle underlying this approach to teaching strives to emphasize motivating learners to learn by relating language teaching to field or subject of interest to learners: words and structures reflecting nuances of their pursuing subject specialism. This paper therefore presents the reasons for ESP as well as the fundamentals of ESP to the learner, the teacher, society, on syllabus designing, on material production, and on methodology for realizing ESP teaching goal. Together with these essentials of ESP, the pivotal position of the teacher in accomplishing educational philosophy of society is considered, but the overwhelming problem now is that teaching at all levels is bedevilled by mediocrities. Can ESP expectations be realized in Nigeria?
