My method in teaching English

Dear English learner:

I am proud to announce to you my very affordable and effective way on how you can learn and speak English fast and fun with ESP method which I am using.

WHAT IS ESP (English for Specific Purpose)

Hutchinson et al. (1987:19) who state, "ESP is an approach to language teaching in which all decisions as to content and method are based on the learner's reason for learning"
.
'What is the difference between the ESP and 'General English' approach (ESL)?' Hutchinson et al. (1987:53) answer this quite simply, "in theory nothing, in practice a great deal".

Definition of ESP (Dudley-Evans, 1997)

Absolute Characteristics
1. ESP is defined to meet specific needs of the learners
2. ESP makes use of underlying methodology and activities of the discipline it serves
3. ESP is centered on the language appropriate to these activities in terms of grammar, lexis, register, study skills, discourse and genre.

Why I am not using ESL method?

ESL is ineffective in training students to speak English because it does almost nothing to retrain the brain to coordinate hearing and to control millions of nerve sensors in the mouth. ESL emphasizes language memory, but it does almost nothing to help the student's brain coordinate all of the new information into spoken English.

Students universally complain because ESL does not teach them to speak English. It can't. ESL principally teaches two things (language memory and visual memory) and only one of these is required in speech. At its very best, ESL partially teaches only one of the three essential elements required in spoken language.

In order to learn to speak a new language:

1. We must retrain our brain for new memory and speech coordination. We must also retrain our brain so that it can respond to the thousands of nerve signals from our mouths which are different for the new language.
2. We must retrain our ears so that we hear sounds which we do not use in our native language.
3. We must retrain all of the thousands of nerve sensors in our mouth so that each part in our body which is involved in speech can reproduce the new words and sentences.
