BRIDGING LANGUAGE AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS: EFFECTIVE ESP PEDAGOGY FOR DIVERSE LEARNER NEEDS
Abstract
English for Specific Purposes (ESP) plays a critical role in the development of language proficiency alongside professional skills. As global communication and specialized knowledge become increasingly essential, ESP pedagogy has evolved to meet diverse learner needs across various disciplines. This article examines effective ESP pedagogy strategies for bridging the gap between language learning and professional competence, exploring interdisciplinary approaches, learner-centered methodologies, and technology integration. The study provides a framework for developing a responsive and flexible ESP curriculum tailored to diverse learner populations, emphasizing the need for contextualized learning that fosters both linguistic and professional skills.
