FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH

What is Functional English:-

It is usage of the English language required to perform a specific function. This is
typically taught as a foundation subject as a good command of English is often required
for academic study and career progression. The Functional English helps us improve our
English speaking, listening, reading and writing for everyday and working life. In this course we
will learn how to speak to communicate well in different situations, take part in formal and
informal discussions, and read and understand texts such as letters, emails and application
forms. We will improve our spelling, punctuation and grammar to help you write different types
of texts and documents. English for specific purposes (ESP) is a subset of English as a
second or foreign language. It usually refers to teaching the English language to
university students or people already in employment, with reference to the particular
vocabulary and skills they need. language taught for specific purposes, a given course
of ESP will focus on one occupation or profession, such as Technical English, Scientific
English, English for medical professionals, English for waiters, English for tourism, etc.

English As A Foreign Or Second Language:-

English as a second or foreign language is the use of English by speakers with different
native languages. Language education for people learning English may be known as
English as a second language (ESL), English as a foreign language (EFL), English as
an additional language (EAL), or English for speakers of other languages (ESOL). The
aspect in which ESL is taught is called teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL).
Methods of learning English are highly variable depending on the student's level of
English proficiency and the manner and setting in which they are taught, which can
range from required classes in school to self-directed study at home. In some programs,
educational materials (including spoken lectures and written assignments) are provided
in a mixture of English and the student's native language. In other programs,
educational materials are always in English, but the vocabulary, grammar, and context
clues may be modified to be more easily understood by students with varying levels.
The English language has great reach and influence, and English is taught all over the
world. In countries where English is not usually a native language, there are two distinct
models for teaching English: Educational programs for students who want to move to
English-speaking countries, and other programs for students who do not intend to move
but who want to understand English content for the purposes of education,
entertainment, or conducting international business. The differences between these two
models of English language education have grown larger over time, and teachers
focusing on each model have used different terminology, received different training, and
formed separate professional associations. English is also taught as a second language
for recent immigrants to English-speaking countries, which faces separate challenges
because the students in one class may speak many different native languages.
