An ESP Speaking Course for International Graduate Students.
Balcom, Patricia; Kozar, Seana
TESL Canada Journal, v12 n1 p58-68 Win 1994
Describes an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) program in which international graduate students in the sciences are grouped according to their particular disciplines. This ensures that the peer group members are the content experts, whereas the ESL teacher serves only as the language expert, providing help in organization, grammar, pronunciation, and presentation skills.
