Abstract

U£he~aïms of English for spécifie purposes (ESP) courses are to prépare the learners in accordance with the spécifie skills and vocabulary needed in their own fields. Therefore, the foundation of ail ESP is related to the simple question of why the learner needs to learn a foreign language. Through the présent work the candidate tries to shed the light on a very crucial issue which exists at the level of the Department of Management at Djillali Liabes University. The absence of an agreed syllabus makes teaching and learning rather ambiguous; for thèse reasons the candidate wants to suggest a syllabus targeted for first year International Commerce students. This syllabus has been designed on the basis of the learners' needs. It also aims at improving their communicative abilities as well as preparing them to be enrolled in a professional milieu that is more and more influenced by the globalization effect.
