Statement of the Problem

ESP practitioners have a major role in improving the ESP teaching because they not only design the course but they present it as well. In fact, the most significant question to be asked is who should teach ESP and how? What are the problems and challenges that face an ESP teacher and what are the requirements for ESP teacher to improve ESP teaching?

Aims of the Study

ESP is so vast an area that one cannot tackle all its aspects. In choosing the area of ESP practitioner, several aims are to be taken into account. The main objective is to improve the ESP teaching in general and the teacher’s performance particularly. In other words, this study aims to help ESP teacher succeed in their tasks by discussing the role of ESP teacher, how it is different from the teaching of general English and what problems ESP teachers may encounter at their work. The secondary aim of this study is to give the reader a general idea about English for Special purposes. In other words, there are certain issues in ESP that this study aims to address, such as its origins, its developments, and the difference between ESP and GE. Also, the study aims to show the radical change of the status of the teacher since the appearance of ESP. Moreover, by conducting this research in this field, we aim at shedding light on the training tasks that ESP practitioners are asked to devise. Finally, we will suggest some procedures and methods that hopefully will make the ESP teaching process more effective.
