Abstract

The EAP students are not passive recipients who absorb subject-specific materials merely through exposure to the reading skill. The dominant misleading conception surrounding the EAP courses is that exposing learners to specialized texts creates a shortcut which contributes to enhancing their knowledge of the language. However, this article discusses that discipline-specific reading materials are like one-way street which hardly develop the learners’ grammatical and communicative competence. EAP learners need more general text types, tasks, activities, and exercises to learn and use the language. In the present study, the data were collected qualitatively through semistructured interviews, classroom observations, and field notes. The participants consisted of 60 students and 16 language instructors. Data analysis was based on the five curriculum structure proposed by Brown (1995): objectives, needs analysis, teaching, materials, and testing. This study attempts to shed some light on certain controversial issues and the findings can have significant implications for ESP and EAP teachers, graduate students, syllabus designers, material developers, and researchers in the field of ESP.
