Esp Course Design: An Integrated Approach

Abstract

ESP course design has grown to become one of the most prominent areas of EFL teaching since the early 1960's. It is a phenomenon that grew out of a number of covering trends. Nowadays there are many courses are offered in ESP areas. There has been several approaches in designing course but each of them has weakness and strengthens. This article aims at finding new approaches in ESP course design that integrate all the needs that the course. It integrates three component of need analysis, PSA, TSA, and LSA, and integrated source of data-stakeholder, learner, teacher, and expert. Each of the steps of integrated approach integrate all component needed. ABSTRAK:ESP disain telah menjadi salah satu bidang yang paling menjadi pusat perhatian dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing sejak awal 1960. Isu ini menjadi fenomena yang terus berkembang dan melahirkan berbagai kecenderungan. Dewasa ini ada banyak kursus yang ditawarkan dalam bidang ESP. Telah banyak pendekatan yang digunakan untuk mendisain kursus ESP namun menurut hemat penulis pendekatan-pendekatan tersebut memiliki kelemahan dan kelebihan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan berbagai pendekatan untuk memenuhi semua kebutuhan dalam kursus ESP. Pendekatan ini akan mengingtegrasikan tiga komponenan analisis kebutuhan PSA, TSA dan LSA. Pendekatan ini juga akan mengintegrasikan sumber data yang dibutuhkan dalam menganalisis kebutuhan yakni dari stakeholders, pembelajar, guru, dan ahli. Setiap langkah dalam disainnya akan mengintegrasikan setiap komponen yang dibutuhkan.

A Proposed Infographics-Based ESP Course for Enhancing Graduate Nursing Major Students’ critical Reading Skills and Motivation

“…The infographics-based ESP course was designed following an integrated approach for ESP course design recommended by Nurpahmi (2016), as these major steps were adapted and used: needs analysis, syllabus design, implementation and evaluation. The sessions of the course followed the pre-while-post reading phases for addressing the target critical reading skills.…”

“…Since ESP is regarded as a methodology for teaching English designed for specific disciplines based on learners' purpose of learning (Marenzi & Kantz, 2013), an integrated approach for ESP course design was recommended by Nurpahmi (2016). Such an approach integrates teacher-centered learning, learner-centered leaning, skill-centered approach and learning-centered approach.…”

Designing An ESP Course For Metallurgy Students

“…This situation can easily be explained by the fact that all these approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages and there is no universal one (Bauer, 1989;Chirimbu & Chirimbu, 2014). Therefore, to overcome certain limitations some researchers believe these methods should be combined into an integrated technique (Nurpahmi, 2016).…”

Students Perceptions of Esp Course for Cynological Translators

“…Accepting the importance of correct designing of an ESP course and the linkages in its structure, many studies pertain to evaluating and creating the programmes or courses in the specific training (Klimova 2015;Salazar 2017;Cerón 1997;Khan et al n.d;Stefanescu 2013;Frydenberg 1982). Several studies argue on an ESP course design, presenting the structural ideas on its components (Damião 2011;Sanz and Sáez 2016;Nurpahmi 2017). Defining a gap or needs analysis is a cornerstone in course design, therefore this issue draws careful attention to the studies on the ESP field.…”

“…Thus, the material selection should be aimed to enable students to function successfully in authentic situations. Some researchers state that ESP practitioners must collaborate closely with the field specialists (Anthony 2007;Chamberlain and Baumgardner 1988;Nurpahmi 2017;Javid 2015). The studies have stressed that the role of an ESP practitioner should be extremely professional in the related field.…”
