ESP has been a necessity that arose for the need of English in different fields of study. According to Hutchinson & Waters (1987), ESP emerged as a response to the needs of learners of language for work purposes particularly in the fields of science, technology and business after the Second World War (1937-1946). The new work demands related to a changing global society, the advances in language and linguistic focus, and the emphasis on learning needs of learners were some of the pushing factors behind the introduction of the ESP (Hutchinson and Waters, 1987). This brought with it great changes in the teaching of English which shifted its focus from the linguistics focus of language being an object to be described in terms of phonemes, morphemes and words, to language being viewed as a means of communication.
