Teaching English For Communicative Competence And Multiple Englishes
by Ram Krishna SinghFeb 18, 2013 Career Development 3207 Views
Though there is hardly any fully fledged English for Specific Purposes (ESP) program run in professional institutions in India, teaching of one of its better known forms English for Science and Technology (EST) in tertiary level has up to now practically limited service role for work and study, accommodating demands for 'communicative' skills and 'needs' of the rural students who have limited previous exposure to functional abilities in English.
