English for specific purposes (ESP) is a subset of English as a second or foreign language. It usually refers to teaching the English language to university students or people already in employment, with reference to the particular vocabulary and skills they need. As with any language taught for specific purposes, a given course of ESP will focus on one occupation or profession, such as Technical English, Scientific English, English for medical professionals, English for waiters, English for tourism, etc. Despite the seemingly limited focus, a course of ESP can have a wide-ranging impact, as is the case with Environmental English.

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is incredibly effective because it directly addresses the practical needs of learners. Instead of focusing on broad, general language skills, it hones in on exactly what someone needs to know to succeed in their professional or academic field. This makes learning more relevant and motivating because the skills you’re gaining are immediately applicable.

According to Dudley-Evans and St. John (1998): "ESP is an approach to language teaching in which the emphasis is placed on the specific needs of the learner, particularly in relation to their professional or academic work. It is also characterized by a focus on practical, real-world language use."
