Teaching languages and Its affects on sustainable development : a new idea; language for specific purposes (LSP)‎

Abstract EN

Language has a paramount role in the quest for development on human, social, political, technological and any other form of development.

A paramount role because knowledge, which is the life wire of any development effort, is acquired through information.

Information comes through communication powered by language.

So, teaching language has a great importance on future sustainable development.

Speaking and understanding the same language is vital for transferring the information which is necessary for building a sustainable development in the world.

But not only teaching the foreign language but also teaching the foreign language for specific purposes has just come out as an idea in every field of development.

The paper begins by defining the methods of effective language teaching methods and goes on defining the concept of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and goes further to critically analyze the affects of language teaching on sustainable development.

All ideas are supported by appropriate examples
