The ESP learner

The ESP Learner

As for ESP learners, it is important for them to be dynamic contributors to the learning process in and out of class. Students may take advantage and use their preferred learning strategies and techniques to reach their objectives in a durable manner and in a relatively shorter period of time.

ESP learners are more intrinsically (self-motivation to do what they like how they like it) rather than extrinsically oriented (doing it for the sake of grades or external reward and not to be punished). Kashani, et al (2007, p. 87) adds “Learning is more individualized than standardized and students are more open to new ideas. They take responsibility for their own actions and accept related consequences”
