Description

This curriculum development project aims to explore the growing demand for English in the global sports environment. By analyzing the current teaching situation, theoretical foundations, curriculum issues, and instructional strategies, the project proposes a modular course design based on English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The goal of the course is to enhance students' practical language skills, strengthen their international competitiveness, and provide both theoretical support and practical guidance for educational policy and curriculum reform.

Summary

Asian sports major students often face challenges in English learning, such as weak foundations, low motivation, lack of targeted materials, and limited opportunities for speaking and listening, which leads to a disconnect from international sports communication needs and unpreparedness for workplace contexts. This presentation aims to introduce an ESP course design that adopts diverse teaching methods to guide students in enhancing their communication skills and professional competitiveness in authentic contexts.
