Looking ahead
After having conducted this research and concluded that ESP courses would in fact be useful and desirable to both teachers and students, further research needs to be conducted. I would like to do a needs analysis of the student population in my current teaching situation. After identifying the students' needs, I would like to modify the elective courses that I have already created in order to meet their specific needs, and teach the class at least once. After teaching the course, I would complete a data analysis in order to understand whether the class was effective. Was it relatively easy to teach? Did the students feel like their needs were met? Were both teacher and students motivated and excited to learn? Finally, and most importantly, did students feel as if they were more prepared to enter and succeed in university?
