ESP 

The course aims to

_Make learners familiar with concepts of special and specific English

_Provide learners with informed insight to understand and different kinds of English

_Form a solid foundation of learner's insight of specific language learning skills and ways of assessment of such skills Moreover,  Munby continues (1978) ESP courses are: “Those where the syllabus and the materials are determined by the prior analysis of the communication needs of the learner.”This means that the identification of learners' needs is the first step upon which the ESP course is going to be designed.
