摘　　要：1964年,Halliday,McIntosh和Strevens在他们合著的The Linguistic Sciences and Language Teaching一书中提出了ESP的理念。遂后,人们开始认识到,ESP是社会发展的自然产物,其存在理据至少有3个方面。通过多年的教学和工作经历,说明ESP和EGP的差别,认为在21世纪里,前者若与一门专业或学科结合起来,将是培养"复合型人才"的最佳途径。The concept of ESP first appeared in the book The Linguistic Sciences and Language Teaching in 1964, co-authored by Halliday, Mclntosh and Strevens. Since then, people began to be aware of the fact that ESP is a natural product of social development. Its theoretical foundation has, at least, three aspects. The teaching and working experiences of the writer are related to some extent to distinguish the differences between ESP and EGP. The writer is firmly convinced that ESP is of special interest to anyone concerned with working out appropriate solutions for teaching and learning English. And he cherishes the belief that ESP, if properly combined with a certain specialized subject or professional knowledge, can cultivate a great number of＂composite talents＂.
