ENGLISH SPECIFIC PURPOSES

FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION

1
 Introduction
What is ESP?
The aim of the ESP is to determine the needs of a specific group of learners. ESP is often
divided into English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Occupational Purposes
(EOP). Further sub-divisions of EOP are sometimes made into business English, professional
English (e.g. English for doctors, lawyers) and vocational English (e.g. English for tourism,
nursing,aviation, bricklaying).
ESP Characteristic
According to Dudley-Evans (2001) the absolute characteristics of ESP are:
1. ESP is designed to meet the specific needs of the learners.
2. ESP makes use of the underlying methodology and activities of the specialism it serves.
3. It is centred not only on the language (grammar, lexis, register), but also the skills,
discourses and genres appropriate to those activities.
ESP practitioners are also becoming increasingly involved in intercultural communication
and the development of intercultural competence.
For Dudley-Evans (2001) the defining characteristic of ESP is that teaching and materials are
based on the results of a needs analysis. The key questions are:
1. What do students need to do with English?
2. Which of the skills do they need to master and how well?
3. Which genres do they need to master either for comprehension or production purposes?
Traditionally ESP courses were typically designed for intermediate or advanced adult
learners.
Nowadays many students can start to learn academic or vocational English at an earlier age
and at a lower level of proficiency.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Special education refers to a range of services that can be provided in different

ways and in different settings. There’s no “one size fits all” approach to special
education. It’s tailored to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
Special education focuses on helping kids with disabilities learn. But it doesn’t
mean placing kids in a special classroom all day long. In fact, federal law says that
kids who get special education services should learn in the same classrooms as other
kids as much as possible. This is known as the least restrictive environment  (or LRE).
The services and supports for one student may be very different from those of
another student. It’s all about the individual child and giving them the resources they
need to make progress in school.
For example, some students may spend most of the day in a general education
classroom. Others may spend just an hour or two in a resource room working with a
specialist. And others might need to attend a different school that specializes in
teaching kids with learning disabilities.
Kids who qualify for special education have an Individualized Education Program
(IEP). They get individualized teaching and other resources at no cost to their
families. Specialists work with kids on strengths as well as challenges. And families
are key members of the team that decides what kids need to thrive in school.
Question
1. What is special education? Spesial edication is special education for people with
disabilities
2. Can you explain about kids who qualify for special education? Kids who qualify
for special education have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). They get
individualized teaching and other resources at no cost to their families.
3. What should the teacher do teaching in special education? Special education
teachers are expected to do quite a lot: Assess students' skills to determine their
needs and then develop teaching plans; organize and assign activities that are
specific to each student's abilities; teach and mentor students
LRE

23
 This principle is called LRE, or least restrictive environment. LRE is an important
part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the U.S. special
education law.
The word environment makes it sound like a place. But where a child learns is
only part of the equation. LRE applies to a student’s entire education program,
including services.
A student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) describes their special
education and related services. The IEP must also address LRE. And the IEP must
explain if and why a student is being placed outside of a general education classroom.
Question
1. What is the differences LRE and IEP? Thi difference is LRE berlaku untuk
seluruh program pendidikan siswa, termasuk layanan.
Program Pendidikan Individual but if IEP is used when a child has or has certain
conditions. These conditions include: having a very superior intelligence, having
certain talents, living around cities, having physical disabilities (blind, speech
impaired, mentally retarded, physically disabled, etc.)

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral

disorder that affects an estimated 8% to 10% of school-age children. Boys are about
three times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with it, though it’s not yet understood
why. Kids with ADHD act without thinking, are hyperactive, and have trouble
focusing. They may understand what’s expected of them but have trouble following
through because they can’t still, pay attention, or attend to details. Of course, all kids
(especially youger ones) act this way at times, particularly when they’re anxious or
excited. Yet, the difference with ADHD is that symptoms are present over a longer
period of time and occur in different settings. They impair a child’s ability to function
socially, academically, and at ome. The good news is that with proper treatment, kids
with ADHD can learn to successfully live with and manage their symptoms.

Question
1. What does the text inform you? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) is a common behavioral disorder that affects an estimated 8% to 10% of school-
age children
2. In your words, what is ADHD? ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that
affects school age children

24
ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a mental disorder that causes a child to
have difficulty paying attention, and has impulsive and hyperactive behavior, so that it can
have an impact on children's achievement in school.
3. In your opinion, what are the differences between ADHAD and hyperactive?
ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that affects schoolage children
Meanwhile, autism is a series of developmental disorders that affect language skills
