Енглески као језик струке у средњим стручним школама у Србији од 1996. до 2013. године
English for Special Purposes in Serbian Vocational High Schools from 1996 to 2013

Summary/Abstract: The processes of globalization, economic cooperation with foreign countries and job opportunities have increased the need for English for Special Purposes (ESP). However, the ESP curriculum is not in accordance with the demand. The curriculum in use before the school year 2013/2014 was outdated, containing little explanations. Although the new curriculum is slightly improved, it still does not comply with the language demands of various professions. The ESP curriculum analysis has revealed that the topics for ESP syllabus are not developed and detailed enough. The reform of high school education has brought a new profession in our educational system – business administrator, with a new subject – business English. The students study ESP with the elements related to other vocational courses. The goal is to increase students’ self-esteem when communicating in English language. The new curriculum has enabled the use of authentic teaching material related to the profession, so the teaching process is not simply regarded as vocabulary learning. Creating new professions and reforming the existing ones enables the students to participate in the labor market offering them a great number of possibilities.
