History of ESP
Peter Streven (1998)
-Focused on learners' need and wastes no time

ESP concentrates more on language in context than on teaching grammar and language structures. It also covers varieties of subject from accounting or computer science to tourism and business management. The ESP focal point is that English is not taught as a subject separated from the students' real world (or wishes); instead, it is integrated into a subject matter area important to the learners.
