Abstract

The era of specialization resulted in the natural evolution of “applied” tag to all streams of studies. English too was not a stranger to this re-branding. The development of ESP in Indian context was accentuated by the era of LPG (Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization) unleashed in the 1990’s. This radical shift in the Indian socio-economic spectrum presented bountiful opportunities and a wide range of challenges for the ELT transformed Indian ESP practitioner. The gust of reforms brought with it a dire need for manpower with specific knowledge and specific set of language skills.
