Abstract | Questions the English for specific purposes enterprise on both practical and theoretical grounds. Rejects the idea of considering specific purposes (SPs) as registers alone, agreeing with suggestions that SPs are characterized by their communicative natures. Questions the influence SP factors have in test-taker performances relative to other factors, such as mastery of the language core. (Author) |
