The ESP teacher needs to bear in mind and exploit if possible this specific subject knowledge,which leads to classroom interaction and teaching methodology that can be quite different from that of general English.however,in some situations-e.g.pre-study or pre-work courses where learners have not started their academic or professional activity and therefore have less subject knowledge-teaching methodology will be similar to that of general English.

-ESP makes use of the underlying methodology and activities of the discipline it serves.
-ESP is centered on the languag,skill,discourse and general appropriate to these activities.
ESP material will always draw on the topics and activities of that specific purpose,in many cases exploiting the methodology of the subject area or the profession.
