 |
|
I tried searching for this within the forums, but I couldn't really get anything... I'm trying to find some materials that are specific to different jobs. I have a student that is pretty well advanced, but works in the restaurant industry and would like to practice specific language pertaining to their job. Can anyone recommend any materials online like this?
I additionally have some students that work in industrial occupations... again, any help would be greatly appreciated.  |

| The term you should be using in your searches is ESP (English for Specific Purposes). Look at some of the major book publishers; they have been producing job-specific textbooks a lot lately. |

Ah, I'm lame. I know that term but just didn't think to use it. Thanks!  |
