Question must be answered based on the following text.
It appears to me to be useful to simplify the descriptive framework and make a two-part distinction: principles and procedures. The term, principles, may be operationally defined as a set of insights derived from theoretical and applied linguistics, cognitive psychology, information sciences, and other allied disciplines that provide theoretical bases for the study of language learning, language planning, and language teaching. The term thus includes not only the theoretical assumptions governing language learning and teaching but also those governing syllabus design, materials production, and evaluation measures. Similarly, procedures may be operationally defined as a set of teaching strategies adopted/adapted by the teacher in order to accomplish the stated and unstated, short- and long-term goals of language learning and teaching in the classroom.

Most students are native Portuguese speakers with varying levels of English proficiency. Some struggle with understanding complex technical terms, others with interpreting text structures and summarizing procedures in English. You, as a teacher, aim to design reading tasks to improve their knowledge in the radiology field.
Considering approaches to ESP course design (Hutchinson & Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans & St. John (1998); Fortanet-Gomez & Raisanen (2008), your reading tasks must
He set up his home-based takeaway, named Africana Chops, in 2022, after being incessantly asked by his St Lucian friends for Nigerian fare. The takeaway is now thriving, Dr Ogbu tells the BBC, and not just because his island customers think the food is tasty. 'They know that we all have the same ancestral origin. So most of the time, they want to get in touch with that,' Dr Ogbu explains. People across the Caribbean have been expressing African pride through cultural means, such as food, clothing and travel, while governments and institutions from both sides of the Atlantic have been meeting to forge economic ties.
