Section 1. Guidelines for intensive reading of ESP texts

Facts and details.ESP discourse often aboundsin explicit facts and details given in the passage. If you are not sure to have grasped all of them from your first reading, use scanningtechniques.

The author usually resorts to facts and details to enhance, support and facilitate her/his idea, purpose or attitude. You have to locate and identify the factual information that requires you to make inferences. It means that the answers to your questions are not directly provided in the passage – you must "read between the lines." In other words, you must make conclusions based indirectly on information in the passage. Many text-readers find it difficult to identify the clues inferred by facts and details.

You should keep in mindthat, in ESP texts,most reading passages have a neutral tone, but sometimes an author may take a position for or against some point by providing negative or positive details. Details and inferences are important for the analysis of the text given below because R. Phillipson is an ardent proponent of the theory of English language imperialism.
