ESP World The journal continues its mission to unite, accumulate and disseminate ESP knowledge whatever it is called (ESP, EAP, EIL, EMP, etc. ) and wherever it originated. Despite existing definitions there are various views on this subject. The main reason of it is probably the variety of purposes, approaches and fields. It seems natural that new names appear under the umbrella term, ESP. One reason for this is to describe specific ESP field as precisely as possible. It seems natural, justified and healthy. It’s a sign: ESP is alive and begets healthy off-springs. However, supporting the idea of self-determination I would like to advocate the idea of unity that makes us www. esp-world. info 75 10/22/2021 stronger.
