This book proposes a new paradigm for English language teaching based on concepts from English for Specific Purposes (ESP) research and applications as well as from growing evidence relating pattern recognition to language learning ability. The contributors to the volume argue that learners should not try to become proficient all-around users of \u2018idealistic native-like\u2019 English, but instead should be realistic about what they need to acquire and how to go about achieving their specific goals.
