ESP课程的教师经常被批评缺乏对目标材料的全面理解所必需的专业知识。因此，许多ESP教师在课堂上感到不安全，对自己的教学能力缺乏信心，对专家对课程设计、材料和课堂活动的看法过于敏感。在本文中，我认为ESP教师与学生非常相似，他们渴望更多地了解目标领域的语言，但在理解目标材料时却存在弱点。通过降低自己作为学科领域无所不知的专家的地位，提高学生作为课堂话语有价值贡献者的地位，ESP教师可以创造一个更富有成效的氛围，最终导致更全面的学习。
Teachers of ESP courses have often been criticized for lacking the specialist knowledge necessary for a complete understanding of target materials. As a result, many ESP teachers feel insecure in the classroom, lack confidence about their abilities to teach the course, and become overly sensitive to the views of specialists regarding the course design, materials, and in-class activities. In this paper, I argue that ESP teachers are quite similar to students in their desire to know more about the language of the target field, and their weaknesses when it comes to understanding the target material. By lowering their own status as all-knowing experts of the subject matter, and raising that of students as valuable contributors to classroom discourse, ESP teachers can create a more productive atmosphere that ultimately leads to greater all-round learning.
