THE OBSTACLES IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSE 
Abstract.
The article is devoted to the obstacles in teaching English 
according to four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing for academic 
purpose. With the help of different examples, the obstacles and their solutions are 
explained. 
Key words
: EAP (English for Academic Purpose), ESP (English for Specific 
Purpose), EOP (English for Occupational Purpose), IELTS (International English 
language Test System), TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Languages). 
English for Academic Purposes is teaching English for the specific aim to 
help learners to study conduct research or teach in that language is an international 
activity in tremendous scope. It is carried out in four main geographical domains, 
each of which exhibit particular characteristics and objectives. The first is in the 
major English - speaking countries where large numbers of overseas students 
whose first language is not English come to study. The second is in the former 
colonial territories of Britain where English is the second language and used as the 
medium of instruction at university level. The third is in countries having no historic 
links with English; however, which need to access the research literature in that 
language. In addition, the last one is English for academic purpose being offered 
increasingly in the progressing global economy and academic community in some 
countries. English for academic purpose is considered one of two branches 
English 
for Specific Purposes 
opposing 
English for Occupational Purposes. 
It is concerned; each of these major branches is then sub 
– divided 
according to the disciplines or occupations. Thus, English for Specific Purpose may 
be separated into English for Biology, English for Mathematics, and English for 
Economics and so on. English for Occupational Purpose branches out into English 
for Pilots, English for Doctors, English for bank employees etc. 
Geoff Brindley and Steven Ross started with a critical review of the 
obstacles involved in their chosen area, the construction and the use of large scale 
international tests of tertiary entry such as TOEFL and IELTS. These two tests are 
perhaps the most powerful gate 
– keepers in EAP, deciding which students will be 
allowed to study in English 
– speaking institutions, not only in the English – 
speaking countries such as United States, Great Britain, Australia as well as in their 
worldwide branches. 
Here, we dealt with the obstacles and their solutions which have been under 
research of four language skills in teaching English language for academic purpose.
