The aim of the Course is to present the principles of Teaching English for Specific Purposes (or TESP), with reference to different teaching contexts (e.g., English for general and specific academic purposes, English for general and specific occupational, vocational, or business purposes, etc.), as well as the close ties between TESP and the disciplines of adult education and differentiated instruction and learning. Particular emphasis is placed on raising a practical awareness of different teaching contexts, as well as of the various types of needs analysis conducted.
