There are two statements below an assertion
(A) and a reason (R) about English for Specific
Purposes. Mark the correct answer about them.
Assertion (A)
When designing an English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) course, the first stage is to carry
out a rigorous needs analysis of the target situation
and only after that the organizational patterns in
specific texts should be identified to specify the
linguistics means by which they are signaled.
After adding such patterns to specific register and
lexical components, the course design is ready.
Thus, there are just these three stages in ESP for
Hutchinson and Waters (1987).
Reason (R)
Using the analogy of a tree, Hutchinson and
Waters (1987) defined ESP as a language product
whose root is English Language Teaching (ELT)
and branches are English for Academic Purposes
(EAP) and English for Occupational Purposes
(EOP). Thus, the main point of ESP is to teach
specialized vocabulary.
