EAP/ESP for Marketable Skills
Original language description
The paper looks at the language competences and skills needed in two types of international environment: business and academic. It considers to what extent the skills requirements laid out for academics and business professionalsare identical as well as different. It briefly overviews some aspects of conventional language teaching and discusses some new elements which indicate potentially relevant ways that ESP/EAP trainers may develop educationally. Examples of three ESP/EAP language projects piloted at Czech Technical University in Prague demonstrate which recently tested language skills are directly applicable and marketable in terms of business and academic professional environment. Finally, it summarizes the assessing of some threats and opportunities that may arise when dealing with specific needs of potential employers.
