Types of ESP

• Types of ESP
• ESP is divided into EAP (English for Academic Purposes) and EOP (English for Occupational Purposes). According to Hutchinson and Waters (1987, as cited by Chalikandy, 2013) ESP is divided into three: English for Science and Technology, English for Business and Economics and English for Social Science, each of which is subdivided into EAP and EOP. They also contend that there is no significant difference between EAP and EOP. This means the aim of both EAP and EOP is the same but the way to achieve it is different. However, EAP and EOP are two different terms. EAP is required in an educational institution like school, college and university and concerned to communication skills in English which are required for study purposes in formal educational system, while EOP is required for professional communication in professional contexts such as medical, engineering, business, and aviation.
