Abstract

The article is an attempt to (i) develop an ESP curriculum specifically related to medical secretary English, (ii) implement in a classroom, and (iii) examine whether it would be helpful for learners. In this regard, employing a theoretical model of ESP materials' design, first a need analysis is conducted to decide the contents of a syllabus. In view of the syllabus, materials are designed following the instructions given in the model. Lastly, the effectiveness of the curriculum is argued based on the ESP learning theories and feedback comments given by the course participants. Implications are discussed as regards how the curriculum can be used for a wider range of English required in medical offices such as English for nurses, nurse-teacher-training staff, dental assistants and welfare office secretaries.
