Summary/Abstract: The selection of materials in ESP classes and implicitly the success of the class fall upon the shoulders of professors and learners alike, each party having to respect their roles though. It is a joint responsibility to get the best possible outcome out of the ESP lessons. It must be stressed also that all the materials have to respond to the study needs and interests of the learners; the materials are not limited to subject specific information as there are many skills that learners have to improve, to refine, to acquire and a variety of materials would perfectly serve such purposes. It is also vital to specify at this point that learners do not start from scratch but they can do with some guidance – especially with professional and specialized guidance – and definitely with some extra knowledge which should be carefully interconnected with previous knowledge like in a network.
