THE EFFICACY OF ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (ESP) IN MODERN EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CONTEXTS

This article examines the critical role of teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in contrast to General English (GE).

This paper argues that ESP is not merely a subset of language teaching but a fundamental pedagogical approach that enhances learner motivation, efficiency, and real-world applicability.
