 WHAT IS ESP

 Hello everyone!,  Before I read the article, I thought that ESP was a teaching technical vocabulary, words and terms of a given field and profession. I just read Rebecca’s experience and I have learned that ESP it is more than that. ESP is teaching of context that surrounds the technical words, it is the sub-technical vocabulary. However, it is not enough, it is necessary analyzing and covering the needs of learners with authentic material each field.  Regarding what is the difference between about ESP and GE, in my opinion the objective of GE is teaching rules, codes and vocabulary to learning English. Nevertheless, ESP teaches how you can defend in the different fields and profession as medicine or business.  In the article, I found **ESOL** (//English to speakers of other languages//) **ESL** and **EFL** (//English as a second language// and //English as a foreign language)// as well as various medical acronyms. Finally, I have not got any experience in ESP field, but if I should choose one language skill I will choose read because reading is the door to learn anything. Regards, Daniel
