ESP

Good morning,

I'm not sure if my understanding of the Article would be correct. I didn't know anything about ESP before, at least, I didn't know it really existed as a Speciality of Language's Study.

As I've understood, ESP studies the language's needs based on observation and analyse in order to facilitate people, in a specific context, to use technical terms and to be able to develop and feel confortable in that context.

GE is the English we all can use to communicate between us in any field and with no technical depth. That would be the main difference between ESP and GE and, therefore, we need GE to develop ESP. Nevertheless, this is not enough, as it is not enough just to know the terminology: we need to improve our capability to communicate with depth when we are dealing in a more specific or technical context, and there is where ESP gets its importance.
