general English instruction is more appropriate in this context, as it prevents the complexity of adapting lessons to learners’ professional goals.

ESP teaching disregards learners’ prior language knowledge and focuses only on technical vocabulary.

teaching ESP to professionals from the same field limits collaborative learning and should be averted.

the teacher should conduct a needs analysis to align language instruction with the learners’ communicative demands and specific contexts of use.

ESP classes should keep away from authentic materials, as they may confuse learners and demotivate them.
