This study is an attempt to find the relationship between EGP and ESP test in medical field of studies in Iranian context. To do this, four fields of study were randomly selected out of medicine fields. Estimating the mean and standard deviation of the tests, the variance overlap between EGP and ESP tests were calculated. The results indicated that there was no systematic relationship between t...

    Consequential validity, a component of construct validity as a unified concept introduced by Messick(1989), deals with the impacts of tests on teaching, learning, individual test takers, teachers, society, and educational system within a country. Although the impacts of language tests on teaching and learning have been somehow studied, the consequences of ESP tests on individual test taker...

The purpose of this study was to create a means for comparing the vocabulary levels of Japanese junior and senior high school (JSH) texts, Japanese college qualification tests, English proficiency tests, and EGP, ESP and semi-ESP college textbooks in order to determine what the vocabulary levels are, and what additional vocabulary is required for students to understand 95% of these materials. T...

Web 2.0 technology enables people worldwide to collaborate over the Internet, a phenomenon known as social collaboration. While the incentives for social collaboration are primarily enthusiasm for a particular subject, building a reputation, or gaining a benefit by doing something in exchange for using services or downloading files, the emergence of human computation games has shown that the pr...

An electronic stability program (ESP) system for passenger cars can be utilized effectively to stabilize a skidding vehicle and thus make the vehicle more controllable to reduce the risk of traffic accidents and to improve driving safety. In this paper, a vehicle multi-body dynamic model constructed using MSC.ADAMS/Car is adopted to investigate the reliability of the ESP system. To improve cont...

Reading is recognized as being the most important skill needed by ESP learners in their field of study, and vocabulary knowledge is the most widely discussed component of effective ESP reading per se. However, research on how much the different types of words exert substantial influences over ESP reading comprehension remains scanty. To address this lacuna, the present study aimed to examine th...

Togetherness of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has been the subject of many recent studies in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as a Second Language (ESL) domain. Few studies, however, have addressed the impact of TBLT on ESP learners’ linguistic production. This study aimed at investigating the impact of task-based teaching on ESP lear...
