- Writing a summary (6)- because it is difficult for me to express my thoughts in English.
- Writing comprehension testo n modules in psychology (7-8)- I am trying very hard to learn the English language, and I can to learn them.
- Making power point prsentation (9)- I spent a lot of time and endeavour preparing my presentation.
- Impromtu speaking in class (5)- It is difficult for me to express impromptu my thoughts in English, when I speak.
- Performance in listening practice (5)- listening task was diffucult for me, but I tried to do my best.
- Writing contributions to e-portfolio (weblog) (8)- While writting these essays I was able to use English literature which helped me to write correct works and let me learn more in English.

Learning ESP
The most important difference lies in the learners and their purposes for learning English. ESP students are usually adults who already have some acquaintance with English and are learning the language in order to communicate a set of professional skills and to perform particular job-related functions. And I am not a exeption. :)
Adults must work harder than children in order to learn a new language, but the learning skills they bring to the task permit them to learn faster and more efficiently. The skills they have already developed in using their native languages will make learning English easier. Although you will be working with students whose English will probably be quite limited, the language learning abilities of the adult in the ESP classroom are potentially immense. Educated adults are continually learning new language behaviour in their native languages, since language learning continues naturally throughout our lives. They are constantly expanding vocabulary, becoming more fluent in their fields, and adjusting their linguistic behaviour to new situations or new roles. ESP students can exploit these innate competencies in learning English.
To sum up, I mean that these learning ways must help to speak and write English better. Good luck !! ;)
