    English for Specific Purposes (ESP): What is Business English?
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Melike Yılmaz
    This article discusses Business English as a branch of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and its growing importance in global communication. Business English is defined as the specialized use of English in professional and commercial contexts, focusing on effective communication rather than grammatical accuracy. It includes vocabulary and topics related to trade, finance, marketing, management, and international relations. As most business interactions today occur between non-native speakers, both native and non-native users need training in using English appropriately in global settings. The article also emphasizes the teacher’s role as a facilitator who understands corporate culture, business terminology, and cross-cultural communication. Business English teaching must be based on learners’ specific professional needs, helping them apply English in realistic work situations. Therefore, Business English serves not only as a linguistic skill but also as a professional competence essential for success in international business environments.

    Internet Technology in a Content-Based Syllabus for English for Specific Purposes
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2012) Djussenova B
    This article explores the integration of Internet technologies into a content-based syllabus for English for Specific Purposes (ESP), with a particular focus on the use of WebQuests. It argues that WebQuests, although originally designed for native speakers, can be effectively adapted for ESP instruction. By combining authentic online resources with inquiry-based and collaborative tasks, WebQuests support the integration of language learning and subject-specific content. The study highlights their role in enhancing learner motivation, critical thinking, communicative competence, and learner autonomy. The article concludes that WebQuests are a valuable tool for developing students’ academic and professional language skills within a learner-centred ESP framework.
