CONCLUSION

- It has been showed that there is dividing line between

language problems and professional problems which

surface in language use.

- Thus, language is the common ground in research and

education.

- EMP aimed to help (NS and NNS) students develop

communicative skills in order to develop the resources

they need to self-monitor and reflect.

- Once this has been noticed, there has been a debate on

the wide angle and the narrow angle of LSP, the issues

is: how specific can one be?

- The more specific the better!
