Abstract	Teaching English for specific purposes (ESP), such as Medical English, is especially impactful due to high student motivation and immediate real-world application. Medical professionals devote their careers to improving the health and lives of others. With English-language skills, medical professionals can further their own professional development by attending international conferences, reading journals, and sharing their own discoveries with peers. In fact, as the majority of medical journals and international conferences utilize English, learning the language allows professionals who are nonnative English speakers to acquire medical terminology and be active in their community (Popa 2013; Chia et al. 1999). The benefits of teaching a Medical English ESP course are far-reaching and positively affect an unknown number of people. For instance, working with doctors and nurses to increase their English level enables them to more accurately interact with, diagnose, and treat their patients. (As Provided).
