“ESP draws on various disciplines, including education, linguistics, and communication, and emphasizes the importance of sociocultural competence—understanding how to use language appropriately within specific social and cultural contexts. Key methodologies in ESP include corpus linguistics, which utilizes large collections of texts to identify essential vocabulary and grammatical patterns relevant to specialized fields. Additionally, genre analysis helps learners recognize the structural elements of texts within their discourse communities, thereby aiding their ability to produce contextually appropriate written and spoken communication.
As globalization continues to increase the demand for specialized English training, ESP is evolving to address the unique linguistic needs of diverse professional environments, making it an increasingly popular and valuable area of study.”

Plan to test Liberian schoolchildren for drugs blocked
October 17th, 2025
By Moses Kollie Garzeawu
Monrovia, Liberia, Africa
Liberia's Education Ministry has blocked controversial plans to introduce mandatory drug testing in all of the country's schools.
Speaking to local media, the interim head of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), Fitzgerald Biago, said school testing would help address the growing problem of drug abuse.
The announcement sparked a mixed response. Some thought it would help tackle the scourge of drugs, while others saw it as an invasion of privacy, or feared it would cost too much.
Last year, President Joseph Boakai declared drug and substance abuse a national emergency and a recent EU-backed report estimated that one in five young Liberians take drugs.
However, the Education Ministry said it was not aware of any plans to test students and added that such a decision needed to be based on concrete evidence and properly thought through.
Assistant minister in charge of students Sona Toure-Sesay told the BBC that this kind of plan required proper research. "Let's assume we are made aware of the proposed initiatives by the LDEA, it will require us to conduct research and review case studies from other countries where this has been successful," she said.
Toure-Sesay also noted that testing could affect students. "What happens to students who test positive? What are the social services in place for them? Some of them might be bullied even after returning, and it may affect their overall educational performances."
She added that a multi-sectoral committee on drug and substance abuse had been set up, headed by the Health Ministry. Along with strengthening health clubs in schools, she said that this would help to reduce the prevalence of drugs among students.
President Boakai dismissed the leadership of the LDEA in August this year, and recently appointed Biago, a former senior police officer, as interim head of the agency.

Brazil joins growing list of countries banning cellphones in schools
(1) A bill that bans students from using cellphones in schools was signed into law in Brazil on Monday, the latest example of lawmakers limiting young people’s use of personal technology in the classroom, amongst growing concern about its effect on education and wellbeing.
(2) Brazil’s Education Ministry said in a statement that the law “aims to safeguard the mental, physical and psychological health of children and adolescents.” The law prohibits all students in public and private elementary and secondary schools from using portable electronic devices throughout the school day, the ministry said, though it allows for their educational use and some other exceptions.
(3) Brazil joins several countries that have banned the personal use of cellphones in schools — including the Netherlands, Italy, and France — though there are questions as to whether phone bans are effective in achieving their aims.
(4) On the one hand, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recommended in 2023 that smartphones only be allowed during class time for learning activities. “Even just having a mobile phone nearby with notifications coming through is enough to result in students losing their attention from the task at hand,” it said in a statement.
(5) Despite the concern, an August (2024) global literature review by researchers at three universities in Queensland, Australia, found that there have been limited high-quality studies on the issue. “The evidence for banning mobile phones for the mental health and well-being of students is inconclusive and based only on anecdotes or perceptions, rather than the recorded incidence of mental illness,” authors Marilyn Campbell, professor of early-childhood and inclusive education at the Queensland University of Technology. “Mobile phones are an integral part of our lives,” they added. “We need to be teaching children about appropriate use of phones, rather than simply banning them.”
