Emergence of English for Specific Purposes

Abstract

The present day world is a world of specializations.  Fracturing, deconstructing, and generating knowledge are some of the practices that we find in the sphere of sporadic knowledge explosion.  Mad with the phobia of specialties, learning language also has got some vibrant attitudinal changes in the critical pedagogy.  We have many abbreviations that are growing in currency for labeling the current practice of teaching-learning the English language.  Purposes and ideological intentions of learning languages have undergone wide peripheral changes.  It is in this context the paper examines the emergence of English for Specific Purposes (ESP).
