Rationale In recent years, important role of English in our society has been much enhanced by the trends of global integration. People without English seem to be difficult to find a good job. However, to be successful in careers, only English in general is not enough but English for specific purposes (ESP) is the most important because each field has its own specific characteristics. That is the reason why ESP has been widely taught in every University and College in Vietnam and Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy is not an exception. ESP has been taught for middle level students for several years but for college students, it has been taught for only one year. It is a compulsory subject for third-year students after they have learnt two semesters of General English with the course books are Lifelines Elementary and Pre-Intermediate by Tom Hutchinson (Oxford University Press, 1997). In the ESP course, reading skill is focused on. Through one year of implementation, the recent ESP syllabus reveals many short comings and needs being replaced by a better one. It is too long for duration of 30 periods and it is completely a text-based syllabus which seems not to motivate students much in their learning. In addition, pharmacy is a field in which changes occur every day, therefore, up-dating new information is very important. Students seem not to have chance to update new modern medicines with the recent ESP syllabus because the medicines in it are old ones. Thus, designing an appropriate task-based syllabus for the pharmaceutical students at Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy is of great importance to help motivate students in their learning ESP as well as to prepare for their future job. From the above mentioned reasons, I decided to choose “Designing a task-based ESP reading syllabus for the third-year students at Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy” as the topic of my thesis. Aims and objectives of the study This study aims at designing a task-based ESP reading syllabus for the third-year students at the Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 2 To achieve this aim, the study sets out to obtain the following specific objectives: 1. To get an overview of the theories related to task-based approach, ESP reading and syllabus design. To investigate the needs perceived by the ESP students, the ESP teachers towards an appropriate reading syllabus for the ESP students of Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy. To propose a reading syllabus based on needs analysis. Scope of the study This study is carried out with its focus on designing an ESP syllabus for pharmaceutical students at Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy on the basic of needs analysis. Due to the characteristics of the college, only reading skill is covered. Within the scope of minor thesis, this study focuses on the designing process itself, only the main theories related to task-based approach; ESP reading and syllabus design are mentioned. Methods of the study In this study, both quantitative and qualitative methods are employed. The quantitative is used to collect the data by delivered questionnaires and the qualitative is applied when discussing the data. The methodology of the study is described as follows: - To gain theoretical background for the study, a careful examination of related literature has been carried out. What has been perceived from this examination will be the foundation for the study. - The study is carried out with 43 students and 4 teachers at HCCP, which will be presented in great detail in chapter 2. Data about the participants is collected by the form of questionnaires. The questionnaire is designed to investigate information about students’ needs, wants, and learning-style preference… 5. The structure of the study This study is divided in three main parts: Part A: Introduction In this part, the rationale for the study, the aims and objectives of the study, the scope of the study, the methodology and the structure of the study are mentioned. Part B: Development LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 3 This is the main part of the study which contains three chapters as the follows: - Chapter 1 reviews the literature concerning ESP, task-based approach, syllabus design, and reading theories. - Chapter 2 is served as the central part of the study because it includes the background, subjects, instrument for collecting data as well as the findings of the study. - Chapter 3 proposes a task-based reading syllabus for the third-year students at Hai Duong Central College of Pharmacy basing on the findings of the study. Part C: Conclusion This part is the summary of the whole study. It reveals the limitations of the thesis and some suggestions for further research are given as well.

ESP which stands for English for Specific Purposes has become a familiar concept in English Language Teaching and many scholars have tried to define it in different ways. Even today there is a large amount of on-going debate as to how to specify what exactly ESP constitutes (Belcher, 2006, Dudley-Evan & St. According to Strevens (1977:57) “ESP concerns the emergence of a number of activities, movements and subjects that are carried out predominantly (though) not exclusively in English across the world)”. It looks at the purpose for which the student needs to learn English, i. for occupational or for study purposes. ESP is a term that refers to teaching or studying English for a particular career (like law, medicine) or for business in general. The fact that learners know specifically why they are learning a language is a great advantage on both sides of the process. The learners are therefore motivated, and this enables the teacher to meet learners’ needs and expectations more easily. Learner and the way of learning (“acquiring language”) are considered to be the main factors in the whole process. Hutchinson and Waters (1992:19) emphasize ESP to be an approach and not a product which means language learning not language use is highlighted. They draw attention to a learning-centred approach “in which all decisions as to content and method are based on the learner´s reason for learning”. Carter (1983) believes that self-direction is important in the sense that an ESP course is concerned with turning learners into users of the language. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. Characteristics of ESP We have established the relationship between ESP and ELT. Now you will be informed about some characteristics of ESP. ESP is seen as an approach by Hutchinson and Waters (1987). They suggest that ESP does not concern a particular language, teaching methodology or material. If you want to understand ESP, they suggest that you find out exactly why a person needs to learn a foreign language. Your need for learning English can be for study purposes or for work purposes. However, it is the definition of needs that is the starting point for decisions which determine the language to be taught. Strevens (1988) makes a distinction between absolute characteristics and variable characteristics of ESP. The absolute characteristics are that ESP courses are: 1. Designed to meet the specific needs of the learner; 2. Related in content to particular disciplines or occupations; 3. Centred on language specific to those disciplines or occupations; 4. In contrast to General English. The variable characteristics are that courses may: 1. Be restricted in the skills to be learned; 2. Not be taught according to a particular methodology. Robinson (1991) also suggests two absolute criteria for defining ESP courses. The first is that ESP programmes are normally goal-oriented.
