ESP AND EAP FOR FUTURE EDUCATORS: PREPARING FOR INTERNATIONAL TEACHING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected world, educators must be equipped with effective communication skills to interact with diverse students, collaborate with international peers, and engage in global academic discourse. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) play a crucial role in preparing future educators for these challenges. This paper explores how ESP and EAP contribute to teacher training, curriculum development, and international teaching environments, highlighting their significance with practical examples.
