Abstract:
The study aims at investigating the role of the ESP teacher in enhancing students’
writing knowledge in the banking field at the High School of Banking-Bouzareah.
Through this study we wanted to know whether the ESP teacher can help ESB students
acquire knowledge that allows them to write good formal letters. The number of
participants was 88 who represent first year students from both BSB and DSEB cycles.
In order to achieve the aims of the study, the researcher used a number of tools for data
collection that included a questionnaire and an interview.
The results of the study have shown the following:
- The students’ rating to their ESP teachers was relatively low.
- The ESB students showed dissatisfaction with the different aspects of the
writing program presented by the ESP teachers.
- The students have a great deficiency in relation to their knowledge about writing
formal letters.
In general, the results of the study have shown that the ESP teacher at the High
School of Banking doesn’t provide them with the necessary knowledge which allows
them write good formal letters.
