Question

A Brazilian English teacher has been hired to
teach a group of experienced doctors who are
preparing for a professional development program
in an English-speaking country. These
professionals will mainly need to understand
technical literature in their field and participate in
conferences.

In relation to the scenario presented and the
principles of English for Specific Purposes (ESP),
it is correct to state that:

Accepted Answer

the teacher should conduct a needs analysis to align language instruction with the learners’ communicative demands and specific contexts of use.

Answer

general English instruction is more appropriate in this context, as it prevents the complexity of adapting lessons to learners’ professional goals.

Answer

ESP teaching disregards learners’ prior language knowledge and focuses only on technical vocabulary.

Answer

teaching ESP to professionals from the same field limits collaborative learning and should be averted.

Answer

ESP classes should keep away from authentic materials, as they may confuse learners and demotivate them.
