Teaching Esp in Some Departments of the Prishtina University “Hasan Prishtina”

Abstract

In this paper teaching ESP at some of the different faculties of the University of Prishtina “Hasan Prishtina” will be examined and analysed. The emphasis is on the importance of teaching English for Specific Purposes and how it is going to benefit the students in their future occupations. Unfortunately ESP is not taught properly in various study directions, or instead of teaching ESP, EGP (English for General Purposes) is taught which does not meet the professional requirements of the present time. This will be shown through the available syllabi of some faculties which will allow a comparison between them. Therefore this research should serve as a motivation for all English teachers in higher education for further development and betterment of teaching ESP. It also should encourage them to share their experiences and difficulties with other teachers by organizing regular meetings where many problems of teaching ESP could be solved effectively by discussing them in a cooperative way, and it would certainly improve their future work.
