The rapid globalization of business and the increasing use of English
as the lingua franca of management have positioned English for
Management Studies as a crucial branch of English for Specific
Purposes (ESP) in higher education. Management students are no
longer expected to master general English only, but to develop
discipline-specific communicative competence required for
professional tasks such as business presentations, meetings,
negotiations, report writing, and intercultural communication. Recent
ESP research emphasizes that effective English instruction for
management programs must be grounded in needs analysis and aligned
with real academic and workplace demands faced by future managers
