 Read the text below and answer question.

ESP is not a matter of teaching 'specialized varieties' of English. The fact that some language features may be more statistically common in a particular context does not create a new form of language. Rather, ESP is an approach to language learning which is based on learner need. The foundation of ESP lies in the question: 'Why does this learner need to learn a foreign language?'. Consequently, the design of a syllabus for a Civil Engineering module must prioritize the communicative demands of the professional field over general linguistic abstraction."
