It outlines three main approaches: English for Academic Purposes (EAP), which teaches English basics for primary and secondary education; English for Occupational Purposes (EOP), which teaches English for specific professions; and English for Specific Purposes (ESP), which designs courses for different student needs. The document also highlights contributions from Indian researchers to ELT, including contrastive studies of languages and English and research on teaching English as a second language.
