Abstract:

The domain of ESP becomes central in language teaching and learning and all the educational fields should take into account the required methodologies, tasks, syllabus design, activities, and evaluation. What is noticed is that the adopted syllabus in teaching undergraduate students is unable to offer the real educational and academic needs of the students. In other words, it is insufficient and it lacks the integration between the real educational objectives and the needs and desires of the students studying it. Accordingly, the researchers attempt to design a supplementary pedagogical course for teaching scientific English to students of the departments of Biology in the University of Mosul.
