问题 What is the characteristic of learners of special English?
There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basis of English. Students who have reached intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life?

But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language.
