The researcher took the data from the Proceedings of
International Conference of TEFLIN (Teaching English as Foreign Language in
Indonesia) held in 2011, till 2014, to find out the dynamics of ESP trends. She
found that the number of ESP researches decreased year by year, and that the
method mostly used is need analysis. There are more studies needed, especially
with the method of etnography, lingua franca, and corpus. This article also
provides comparison of those aforementioned methods, and classification of the
method used in the selected papers. EAP (English for Academic Purpose was dominaning,
and it is proved that the ESP topic especially EOP (English for Occupational
Purpose) seemed not really popular in Indonesia. Even though the era of AEC
(ASEAN Economy Comunity) has been developing, the importance of ESP has not
been anticipated in Indonesia. This is the challenge of Indonesian ESP instructors and practitioners
to develop its curriculum and teaching-learning quality.
