English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is tremendously growing and altering on its context level. The increasing demands on Specific jobs and occupations have broadened the freedom and the expansion of this methodology to take charge of and handle all student based reasons for learning. ESP branches continually extend to be so numerous and specific that almost all learners needs become at their disposition thanks to the flexibility of this approach to teaching. It is progressively adjusting to increased demand by adapting to all sorts of learning and all fields of study: Chemistry, technology, social studies, physical education and so on. ESP is thus the miraculous key that can open all the doors in front of academic and professional learners. EST, EAD, EAP, EOP, EVP, etc...
What does E.B.P stand for? 
If it happens that you read this acronym as
English for Business Purposes, it's O.K. But this same acronym could be read this way :
English for Begging Purposes. It is not a joke; isn't begging a super business?!. EBP could be seen in terms of two categories:
- Legal begging institutions (like associations).
- Individual begging enterprise (an illegal activity)
Begging techniques have evolved a lot in the last decades. As a business, begging consists of persuading and convincing strategies; which require fluent and eloquent language (Having the power of expressing strong emotions or forcible arguments in an elevated, impassioned, and effective manner; [Webster 1913]) able to adapt to all circumstances. Begging in front of a hospital is not the same as it is in front of a Mosque or in the marketplace, for instance. That is why the language is a basic feature in begging disciplines especially in front of hotels, bars, restaurants, and historical monuments. The beggar should be a good linguist or, at least, a bilingual. Besides this, people who invest in this ever flourishing business should be without three good friends:
- Dignity
- Self-esteem or self-respect.
- Contentment.
The art of begging is obviously a paying off vocation. Beggars are generally not in need of money. They are not poor in the authentic sense of the word. They are simply greedy and lazy. They want to earn easy money in return of few senseless foolish omens, wishes and supplications. Most societies chase them away especially if they are able to work. Furthermore, it is an illegal activity forbidden by the law.
EBP comes on purpose to help a lot at undertaking begging in a legal way. It offers a well-designed program based essentially on the following:
- Physical behavior (intensive performance course for non-handicaps)
- Language use and fostering of an active, investigative approach to begging.
- Clothing and cosmetics styles supported by explanation and true-to-life simulations.
- The materials are selected according to adaptability.
- An explicit use of the techniques of Genre Analysis.
- Audio-visual used in current EBP practice.
- And much more ...
All in all learners will be satisfied with the quality of teaching methods. EBP proposed to endow them with a conscious, explicit and articulated approach to learning the begging art in all situations, conditions and circumstances. Most importantly, EBP emphasizes an active responsible and investigative approach to self-study and learning.
EBP holds the emblem of "The Beggar Will Be Bigger". That is because it consists of two major factors notably social and psychological. It is adaptable to the learner's needs and interests by training outside the classroom emphasizing the notion of the learner's independence and autonomy. It also takes into consideration the economic side by studying the labor market in terms of supply and demand. Current practice in EBP follows a language skill approach with a lot of time given to beseeching and supplicating speaking as the paramount skill. The other skills are unquestionably given more overt emphasis (depending on the learner's needs and personal abilities, readiness and acceptability)
Eventhough this article seems sarcastic, it is not really that strange. Because of money, many web private sites ("Universities") offer such fields of study. They are ready to teach anything and give diploma on condition you regularly pay the fees. Everything is "learnable", begging strategies included. If no web site had integrated EBP openly in its curriculum yet, it would have been only because the term "begging" is a little bit socially despised. Therefore, they give it new names and promulgate it as a good investment. The internet is full of disguised begging projects. Here is a list of search engines to help you find them:
