Summary/Abstract: While ready-made ESP course books and other resources can prove useful per se, in variable-dependent situations such as ESP teaching and testing at tertiary level, customised approaches have to be taken to ensure compliance with the existing variables towards effectiveness and coherence. This paper explores one such instance, arguing for integrated language skills in teaching and testing, based on the author’s experience as a teacher / tester / syllabus writer within the framework provided by a clearly delineated academic context.
