English for Specific Purposes

Language for study, work and professional life

Preparing learners for the demands of the real world.


Focused English teaching for specific goals

In the ESP and EAP strand, we explore how English teaching supports learners with specific goals — academic success, workplace readiness, or functioning in professional or vocational contexts.

These sessions focus on relevance, authenticity, and support for learners under pressure — helping them develop the real-world language skills they need to thrive.
