The Bible of ESP. It contains all the basic knowledge that ESP teachers must master before starting a course. It is a guide and reference for work.

A must-read for any English language teacher, not just ESP.

[Laura Pérez Del Cid · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has loaded with relevant information about everything related to English for specific purposes, giving to understand everything important about teaching, learning ESP. Not only that, but it has also shown some guidelines to consider for a teacher to take the role of being ESP, accomplishing the tasks to achieve mastery in the learners. In addition, it also mentions parameters for the evaluation of materials when distributing them in ESP classes, it can not be any material but to know its evaluation and its importance when implementing it in any ESP class.
From my point of view, that book that has been found in digital portable file (PDF) I have presented only one disadvantage at the time of reading it, the document did not let me underline relevant parts of the book, so it has been difficult for that part. On the other hand, this book has really helped me to know all the necessary and characteristical information for both learners of other disciplines who want or have any need to learn English, but it has also helped me to take a more expanded view of how English has been carried out in other branches of studies. It should be noted that the book includes figures and diagrams that have made the content more digestible to better visualize everything related to the entry of the language, through a class and the completion of the same.
Without a doubt, I have learned a little more about English and how it has become the language of expansion for business and industries in the working world, not only to teach but also to be based on the content of a different career but also helps to implement the English to learners to have a better job with the management of English based on the technical, engineering or medical careers that have been focused.

DELTA Module 3 reading centre-piece. Feels a little dated although the underlying principles are sound.
