A Brazilian English teacher has been hired to teach a group of experienced doctors who are preparing for a professional development program in an English-speaking country. These professionals will mainly need to understand technical literature in their field and participate in conferences.
In relation to the scenario presented and the principles of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), it is correct to state that:

✂️ a) general English instruction is more appropriate in this context, as it prevents the complexity of adapting lessons to learners’ professional goals.
✂️ b) ESP teaching disregards learners’ prior language knowledge and focuses only on technical vocabulary.
✂️ c) teaching ESP to professionals from the same field limits collaborative learning and should be averted.
✂️ d) the teacher should conduct a needs analysis to align language instruction with the learners’ communicative demands and specific contexts of use.
✂️ e) ESP classes should keep away from authentic materials, as they may confuse learners and demotivate them.
