Core Vocabulary Sheets

Thursday January 8, 2009
The use of the lexical approach is essential for successful language acquisition in English for Specific Purposes (ESP). However, teachers are often not equipped with the exact English terminology required in very specific trade sectors. For this reason, core vocabulary sheets go a long way in helping teachers provide adequate materials for students with English for Special Purposes needs.

English for Special Purposes Core Vocabulary Lists

English for Advertising
English for Banking and Stocks
English for Book Keeping and Financial Administration
English for Business and Commercial Letters
English for Human Resources
English for the Insurance Industry
English for Legal Purposes
English for Logistics
English for Marketing
English for Production and Manufacturing
English for Sales and Acquisitions

I join Frank Conzalez in his suggestion to include reading passages for ESP and to put all the core vocabulary lists in excercises that help the ESL learner to understand the meaning in context. Thanks for all the effort that is put here ; I really enjoy and benefit alot from all the resources available .

You can find a number of dialogues using this type of vocabulary at: http://esl.about.com/od/businessenglishdialogues/Business_English_Role_Plays_Dialogues.htm

Your idea of creating dialogues based on this specific vocabulary is great. I’ll try to keep it in mind for future features on the site.
