[en] ESP GENRE APPROACH

[en] The learning situation in this study is one in which students lack engagement and interest in studying English, and its aim is to explore a way of helping them become more successful learners. To this end, this paper examines the applicability of the ESP genre approach in a high school evening class. It considers activities related to job genres through exercises carried out by students and teacher together. The activities aimed at dealing with the job genres in such a way that students could recognize that the approach was useful for the English language subject as well as for the improvement of their background knowledge concerning the job field. Teacher s and students perceptions were examined through four activities based on the ESP genre approach. This paper also discusses the teacher s and students perceptions of the usefulness of the approach used during classes.
