Abstract

Annotation. The article explores the latest trends in Teaching English for
Specific Purposes (ESP), a specialized field that tailors English language instruction to
the needs of particular professions, industries, or academic disciplines. With the
increasing globalization and specialization of various fields, the demand for ESP has
grown significantly. This study reviews contemporary trends, including the integration
of technology, learner-centered approaches, and interdisciplinary collaboration. It also
discusses the challenges and future directions for ESP.
