内容記述 | With regard to teaching approaches in the classroom, as new ideas emerge, conflicts in ideology between researchers also surface and the teacher or administrator is left with a difficult decision. In English for Specific Purposes (ESP), a continuing debate is whether, at the tertiary level of education, the teacher should be focusing on English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP) with the goal of imparting general skills that one hopes are transferable to more field specific course work or whether he/she should be teaching English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) which emphasizes similar language skills and tasks to those that the students will face in their academic fields. By using a needs analysis tool or tools to determine the skills students need in a specific field and further analyzing those skills to determine the language needs that the teacher must focus on in the classroom, a teacher or administrator can make an informed decision. This process is exemplified with a case study of implementing a business English class at a large research university in the United States. The results of this analysis indicate that an EGAP approach for upper-level undergraduates and especially graduate students is not meeting these students' specific needs. In addition, the language needs that are identified are such that the teacher would not require specific content knowledge, as the arguments against ESAP suggest, to teach the class. | |||||
