ESP: English for General Engineering

　　此系列由國立成功大學專業英文團隊研發而成，是全台灣第一套以ESP（English For Specific Purposes，專業英文）概念設計，針對不同學科領域需求所設計而成的全方位英語教材。

　　Introduction of the Series
　　
　　This series recognizes the varied academic and professional English learning needs of college students as they prepare for different careers. By adopting the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approach—one of the most effective EFL teaching methods used today—the series equips students with academic skills for English-speaking classrooms, while also providing relevant language training to ensure professional success.
