Abstract. A subfield of English language instruction known as English for Specific Purposes (ESP) concentrates on the unique requirements of students in particular occupations or fields. English for Medical Purposes (EMP) is one of the most important subfields of ESP, where learners are usually medical professionals or students who must master the language in order to work efficiently in medical settings. Because medical education and specialized language acquisition are both extremely demanding, there are distinct opportunities and obstacles in motivating ESP learners, especially medical students.
