Abstract

The present paper discuses English language teaching with a focus on functional language. ESP teachers have a useful tool when using this approach that enables them to improve the students’ communication skills in the field of business without the pressure of rigid grammar rules. Drilling dialogues may eventually give way to innovation once learners master the given sets of phrases. The importance of context and formality is also taken into account for a better understanding of how language functions.
