General Perspective

English is a foreign language in Bangladesh, and the tertiary students of private universities of different departments come with different vocational needs. General English courses cannot cater to the specific needs of the students of different departments. Moreover, at a tertiary level, English language courses should be designed not only to help students receive good grades, but also cater to their future workplace needs. In these cases, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is more applicable than General English language courses. On the other hand, teaching ESP courses is more challenging and difficult than teaching General English courses. The article aims to characterize ESP, analysing its need in Bangladesh and identifying teachers’ roles in its teaching. A survey was conducted for data collection in which two different sets of questionnaires were used for teachers and students. Twenty English language teachers and 64 undergrad students from the Department of Civil Engineering from different universities participated in the survey. Results of the survey have been presented with some recommendations for its pedagogic management.Journal of NELTA ,  Vol. 22, No. 1-2, 2017 December, Page: 76-88

Literature has long been used as a tool for language teaching and learning. In the New Academic Structure in Hong Kong, it has become an important element in the senior secondary English language curriculum to promote communicative language teaching (CLT) with a process-oriented approach. However, as in many other English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) contexts where high-stakes testing prevails, Hong Kong students are highly exam-oriented and expect teachers to teach to the test. Because there is no direct assessment on literature in the English language curriculum, many teachers find it challenging to balance CLT through literature and exam preparation. To address this issue, this article describes an innovation of teaching ESL through songs by ‘packaging’ it as exam practice to engage exam-oriented students in CLT. A series of activities derived from the song Seasons in the Sun was implemented in the ESL classrooms in a secondary school in Hong Kong. Based on the author’s observations and reflections informed by teachers’ and students’ comments, the students were first motivated, at least instrumentally, by the relevance of the activities to the listening paper in the public exam when they saw the similarities between the classroom tasks and past exam questions. Once the students felt motivated, they were more easily engaged in a variety of CLT activities, which encouraged the use of English for authentic and meaningful communication. This article offers pedagogical implications for ESL/EFL teachers to implement CLT through literature in exam-oriented contexts.
