Peer Consultants established the need to develop a course in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) aimed at upgrading communication skills of professionals in Botswana. ESP is the general term used to refer to courses designed to raise the language awareness level of professionals in different situations. To distinguish it from other courses on the market, for example, Business Communication or Business English, the title English for Professional Purposes was preferred. It specifies unambiguously its relevance to particular vocations.
