This section of the ESP website contains resources for teachers and potential teachers. We provide syllabi and other useful materials for classes that have been taught for ESP programs in the past.
Archived Information
At our class archives you'll find a searchable database of over 2,000 classes taught at ESP programs since 1998. The archives should give you a good idea of the subjects that are taught in our open-ended programs. They are also a source of ideas for prospective teachers.
Eventually we will provide full support for a set of core classes, which can then be picked up and taught without "reinventing the wheel," that is, without redeveloping the entirety of the course materials from scratch. (Of course, if you would like to teach one of the classes listed here -- or a class not listed here -- in an entirely new way, we fully encourage you to!)
Explore these pages through the links on the left. Contact esp@mit.edu for more information about ESP's online resources.
Resources for Students
Every IAP, ESP sponsors a series of classes for potential ESP teachers, or just anyone interested in teaching and education. These classes are led by knowledgeable instructors who offer insight into various topics in education.
There are many other organizations at MIT besides ESP that encourage academic experiences beyond the limits of a normal school curriculum.
In addition, ESP has compiled a list of organizations not affiliated with MIT that support learning and education of all kinds.
