Abstract
This paper presents a study investigating the effects of an ESP program on the false-beginner Turkish EFL learners' language and vocational knowledge and skills. The purpose of this study is to answer the following research questions: Will false-beginner level Turkish EFL learners develop/improve their L2 skills through an ESP program of instruction? Will false-beginner level Turkish EFL learners get basic vocational knowledge and skills as well as L2 skills through an ESP program of instruction? 50 false-beginner Turkish EFL learners, 18 graduates of the program who have already been employed in the tourism sector in Turkey, and 8 employers participated in the study. The results indicated that despite some shortcomings, the program helped the learners develop both their vocational and EFL knowledge and skills.
