REQUIREMENTS OF THE CURRICULUM
This section provides more detailed information on the learner requirements mentioned in
section 1. It also specifies teacher requirements. In order to teach the broad range of skills
associated with delivering the ESP syllabus teachers will need to be offered appropriate
teacher development support by their institutions. Such support should include TELL,
Materials writing, assessment, communicative skills, and teaching study skills. This is part of
teachers’ CPD (Continued Professional Development).
3.1
Teacher language level and background knowledge requirements
See National Standards for a description of the required teacher language level. Ideally, ESP
teachers will be at C1 level, but it is understood that there may need to be a transition period
to achieve this.
Teachers are primari
ly language teachers: they do not need to be experts in their students’
professional/academic fields. However, an understanding of the key concepts of these areas
will be highly beneficial.
