Synopsis

Despite having been in existence for almost half a century, ESP still continues to be characterised by serious methodological and pedagogical problems in its theory and practice. Evaluation is one of the most persistent problems that ESP has been faced with. ESP practitioners have concentrated more on ESP materials evaluation without providing clear guidelines on how the course should be evaluated. The other issue has been the nature of ESP itself and the inherent need to develop different evaluative strategies that would suit a language course that focuses both on the acquisition of linguistic knowledge and occupational skills, such as ESP. This book attempts to address some of these problems by evaluating the Business English programme, a sub-genre of ESP, in Kenya. The study is an evaluative survey, which investigates the current situation with regard to the fluctuating performance by students in Business English examinations syllabus are some of the recommendations that are put forward in a bid to address this problem.
