“…It defines ESP as English for specific purposes, an instruction in English tailored to meet learners' expectations in a particular area to meet their demands. According to [6], ESP is an approach to language instruction that aims to enhance the relevance of language instruction to the requirements of learners.

“…Therefore, not too much attention is paid to grammatical rules, as the language needs of learners differ depending on their fields of study, such as accounting, computer science, tourism, and business management [2]. It is worth noting that the rise of ESP is driven by three distinct motives: the need to meet the demands of a swiftly changing world, improvements in linguistics research, and a focus on the specific needs of learners [6]. These reasons prove that individuals pursue ESP instruction to address specific language needs related to their professional or academic aspirations.…”

This study shows the outcomes of a research project engaged in a Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) course, which targeted to develop students' language proficiency for targeted goals instead of a general English course. The course content development process required several stages, including a requirements analysis, goal and objective setting, content selection and development, and course assessment. The LSP course was executed in a library setting, and the researchers aimed to increase students' social skills through English language learning. The study randomly selected thirty international students using a mixed-method approach to gather data to serve the needs of UTM Skudai's students. The researchers stipulated a comprehensive analysis of the course plan, content, and emphasis areas to clarify how language awareness is integrated into LSP courses. This study provides a clear understanding of how LSP courses deliver language awareness.

This study addresses the application of rough set theory in English hierarchical teaching and explores how to optimize the teaching mode and improve the teaching quality and learning effect through this theory. This paper adopts a literature analysis and questionnaire survey method to study rough set theory’s knowledge expression and systematic decision-making mechanism. It applies it to the design of the curriculum system and the innovation of the teaching mode in the English platform of special-purpose universities. The optimized English hierarchical teaching mode using rough set theory significantly improved students’ learning interest and learning effect, in which 87.53% of the students believed it could improve their mastery of knowledge. The average score of 90.3 was 23.4 points higher than that of the control group, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). This study also found that the level of teacher specialization, students’ study habits, and school policies are key factors that influence the implementation of the teaching model. The introduction of rough set theory in this study provides new perspectives and methods for English teaching, promoting innovation in teaching methods and improving students’ learning ability.
