Call for papers for a dedicated issue on:
Revising foundations of ESP theory and ensuing practice 

In the Introduction to Developments in English for Specific Purposes: A
Multi-Disciplinary Approach (1998, p. I), Tony Dudley-Evans and Maggie Jo St
John state: ''It is often said that ESP lacks an underlying theory. We believe
that a theory of ESP could be outlined based on either the specific nature of
the texts that learners require knowledge of, or on the basis of the
needs-related nature of the teaching. It is, however, interesting and
significant that so much of the writing has concentrated on the procedures of
ESP and on relating course design to learners' specific needs rather than on
theoretical matters.''
 
Though written two decades ago, it appears to be as accurate at present. For
that reason we invite ESP experts, practitioners, enthusiasts, to respond to
this claim by presenting their insights, interpretations, uses of ESP
theoretical foundations for practical teaching work and related research. 

Potential topics are the following:
- What is ESP today, has it changed or evolved since its beginnings? How much
is it present in academia and business sector? What is the rationale for its
existence? 
- What objectives are set out when commencing ESP instruction? Why? What
societal goals do those reflect? What competencies and skills do we aim to
develop?
- How is the concept of assessing needs changing? Whose analysis can truly
inform that assessment?
- What diverse issues inform ESP material design? Is it ideology free? Who
designs material? Are the textbooks of influential international publishing
houses appropriate for use? Is a concept 'beyond textbooks in ESP' viable?
- How is methodology in teaching conceived? Is it pre-course set or does it
change during the course? What are the main decisive issues on which an ESP
practitioner chooses which approach to apply in instruction process?
- How is ESP syllabus designed and what is its relation to the curriculum?
- What is the measure of a successful ESP course?
-What is the place of ESP in Higher Educational context? What is the position
of ESP lecturers in that environment? What are the challenges?
- How are ESP lecturers educated for this line of work and where?
- What is the perceived perspective of ESP? 
Scholarly submissions with predominantly theoretical content can be submitted
until October 1st 2019.
