Management and Use at BUAF PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale for choosing the topic English is now considered to be one of the most popular languages in the world In Vietnam, it has been more and more widely used and occupied an especially important status in the development of international relationship More importantly, English has an influence on our education curriculum as a compulsory subject English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has developed as an independent discipline apart from general English, and it has gained popularity throughout the world, especially in tertiary education where there is a great variety of majors Fully aware of the importance of the English language teaching and learning in general and ESP in particular, BUAF has introduced ESP courses into the curriculums of four undergraduate programs, including Accounting, Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Crop Science, and Land Management and Use In the context of BUAF, year program students with university training level take the compulsory General English (GE) course with credits After finishing their GE course, they are supposed to take the ESP course of credits According to the training curriculum, the ESP is to be delivered in the fourth semester of the second academic year after three semesters of GE At this time the students majoring in Land Management and Use at BUAF are at the end of their second semester and our ESP teachers are facing a lot of difficulties due to the lack of an appropriate ESP teaching syllabus In fact, there is not an available ESP syllabus of Land Management and Use for our ESP teachers As far as I know, at other institutions providing the Land Management and Use major, the materials used for the ESP course are selected by teachers of English from different sources and they use these materials as their syllabus for lesson plans As an English teacher, I was in charge of designing a syllabus and teaching materials for students of Land Management and Use It is clear that a syllabus contributes to the success and fulfills the objectives of an ESP course Therefore, designing an appropriate ESP syllabus for the students of Land Management and Use at BUAF is an urgent task More importantly, it is believed that the ability to read and comprehend the written documents is considered as one of the most important factors of success at tertiary education level Accepting the fact that reading skill is of great importance for all students, ESP teachers have been paying attention to the reading skill as it is the most important skill needed for ESP students‟ future academic career Seeing the point, the author is encouraged to undertake this study entitled “Designing an ESP Reading Syllabus for the students of Land Management and Use at Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry” Aims and Objectives The study aims at designing an appropriate ESP reading syllabus for the second-year students majoring on Land Management and Use at Land Resources and Environment Department at BUAF To achieve this aim, three following objectives are set to be obtained To get an overview of the theories related to ESP reading and syllabus design; To conduct a needs analysis to identify the students‟ learning situation, the learning needs perceived by the teachers who are responsible for the ESP course, the subject teachers, and the second-year students of Land Management and Use; - To propose an appropriate ESP syllabus for the target students based on the relevant theories and the needs analysis It is hoped that the findings of this study will be of some benefits to the teaching ESP to the second year students of Land Management and Use at BUAF Scope of the study The scope of this study is limited to a study on designing an ESP reading syllabus for the second - year students of Land Management and Use at BUAF It is conducted with the second year students of Land Management and Use, subject teachers and English teachers within BUAF context Within the scope of a minor 10 thesis, only the basic theories related to ESP reading and syllabus design are presented Other approaches to syllabus designs intended for students and other subjects at any other levels of English language proficiency would be beyond the scope Methods of the study For this study the following approaches were adopted First, relevant literature and studies were reviewed in order to get in-depth information Second, the results were surveyed through questionnaires Finally, the information obtained from the survey was analyzed and checked against information obtained from literature and other sources Design of the study The thesis is organized into: Part A, introduction, presents the rationale, aims and objectives, scope, methods and the design of the study Part B, development, includes three chapters: Chapter reviews theoretical backgrounds relevant to the research topic including the overview of ESP, syllabus design, needs analysis and reading theories; Chapter deals with the methodology describing situational analysis, subject of the study and instruments for collecting data; In chapter the findings and analysis of the results collected from the survey are presented; Chapter proposes a reading syllabus for the second-year students of Land Management and Use basing on the findings of the study Part C, conclusion, presents conclusion of the study, points out some limitations and proposes some further suggestions for research on the topic 11 PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1.1 An overview of ESP 1.1.1 Definitions and characteristics of ESP Although ESP now is a really familiar concept in English Language Teaching, there is not a universal applicable definition of ESP It has been defined by different researchers and scholars from different points of views Hutchinson and Walter argue that ESP should be seen as an approach to language learning, which is based on learner need, not as a product They mean ESP does not involve a particular type of language, teaching material or methodology It is the view of these authors that the foundation of ESP involves the learners, the language required and the learning context, which are based on the primacy of needs in ESP According to them “The foundation of all ESP is the simple question: Why does this learner need to learn a foreign language? From this question will flow a whole host of further questions, some of which will relate to the learners themselves, some to the nature of the language the learners will need to operate, some to the given learning context” (Hutchinson and Walter, 1987: 19) On the whole, they conclude ESP is “an approach to language teaching in which all decisions as to content and method are based on the learner's reason for learning"(Hutchinson and Walter, 1987:19) Needs analysis is also mentioned in many authors‟ definitions of ESP Robinson (1991:3), while discussing the criteria of ESP, mentions the element of students‟ needs She believes that ESP courses develop from a need analysis “which aims to specify as closely as possible what exactly it is that students have to through the medium of English” (cited in Dudley-Evans and St John, 1998: 3) Supporting these ideas, Richards et al (1992:125) define the parent discipline of ESP as „the role of English in a language course or programme of instruction in which the content and aims of the course are fixed by the specific needs of a particular group of learners‟ 12 XV Table 5: The proposed ESP reading syllabus for the second-year students of Land Management and Use at BUAF Items Topics Unit Land Information (4 credit hours) System -LIS    Unit (4 credit hours) Land Administration Mapping    Unit (4 credit hours) Geographic Information System -GIS XVI    Unit (4 credit hours) Land Use Planning    Unit (4 credit hours) Land Law    Usin XVII Unit (4 credit hours) Real Estate Market   XVIII APPENDIX 5: SAMPLE UNIT UNIT 3: GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM A PRE-READING Work in pairs and answer the following questions: What is GIS? Why is GIS important? B WHILE-READING Land is the habitat of man and its wide use is crucial for the economic, social, and environmental advancement of all countries Although it is part of man‟s natural heritage, access to land is controlled by ownership patterns Land is partitioned for administrative and economic purposes, and it is used and transformed in myriad ways Population growth, technological and social hazards; and environmental degradation have all to be taken into greater account today by policy makers, resource planners, and administrators who make decisions about land They need more detailed land information than has been traditionally available Although the printed map is still useful, computerized systems offer improved ways of acquiring, storing, processing and retrieving such information Manual record keeping in land administration has been in use by most land related departments Most cities and their surroundings have been expanding rapidly with the increasing rate of urbanization With this rapid expansion, manual record-keeping has become inefficient, time consuming and prone to abuses; which warrants the need for a better system of land administration and management practices Though computerization of cadastral information has been on for over 40 years now in more advanced countries, in developing nations, it is in the last decade that greater emphasis and more serious moves towards the establishment of fully digitized cadastral systems became noticeable This has become a worldwide trend It is recognized that digital cadastral systems must be tailored to facilitate an effective land administration and thereby, more generally, promote economic development, social cohesion and sustainable development Lately, Geographic Information System (GIS) has become an effective tool for natural resources management all over the world For a sustainable land use plan, land administration requires more and more data integration, multi disciplinary and complex analysis, and need faster or more precise information Certainly, Geographic Information System (GIS), which has a strong capacity in data integration analysis and visualization; thus, becomes a platform for land administration Geographic Information System (GIS) which is a computer system for capturing, storing, querying, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced data; is an effective tool that facilitates mapping of the land resources, which is useful in varied monitoring and assessment capacities XIX GIS is a system and method of integrating information based upon georeferenced data; that enables the study of complex world problems It provides easy and quick access to many layers of geographic data (e.g., land ownership, land use, plot sizes, beacons, administrative boundaries, right of way, contours and engineering infrastructure) This ability to integrate data enables administrators, professionals in various disciplines, and citizens to understand, analyze, and visualize spatial relationships GIS helps identify and eliminate errors in data and parcel boundaries By having a complete inventory of a city‟s land, GIS allows the government to increase its revenue base from land resources It also allows for the development of mapping standards to maintain the data‟s integrity GIS makes public access to data possible, which can contribute to the data‟s overall accuracy Information regarding development and zoning policies can be more easily disseminated Impacts of changes in zoning laws are more readily identified and understood  Reading comprehension Task Choosing the best title for the reading text A Efficiency of digitized cadastral systems B Relevance of GIS in land administration C The inefficiency of printed maps D The effects of population growth on land administration Task Read the text quickly and answer the following questions How is access to land controlled? According to the passage, what should be taken into greater account today by policy makers, resource planners, and administrators? What has become inefficient, time consuming and prone to abuses? What is GIS? Is GIS useful for land administration? Task Read the text then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) Correct the false statements 1. Wise land-use is important for the economic social and environmental advancement of some countries 2. Land is used and transformed in many ways 3. Population growth, technological and social hazards; and environmental degradation have all to be taken into greater account 4. Computerized systems offer no ways of acquiring, storing, processing and retrieving such information 5. Digital cadastral systems must be tailored to facilitate an effective land administration and promote economic development, social cohesion and stable development XX 6. GIS has become an ineffective tool for natural resources management all over the world 7. GIS is a system and method of integrating information based upon georeferenced data 8. GIS makes public access to data possible, which can contribute to the data‟s overall accuracy 9. GIS helps correct errors in data and parcel boundaries  Increasing your vocabulary Task Match each word or phrase in column A and its meaning and expression in column B A retrieving precise manual degradation warrant habitat hazard eliminate map digital 10 facilitate 11 transform 12 integration Task Select the correct word or phrase from the list below to complete each of the sentences manual degradation 1……………… destruction by human activity mainly for the purpose of harvesting natural resources for industry production and urbanization XXI In scientific writing, language must be ……………… If your writing does not communicate exactly what you did, then you have changed the work People in ……………… occupations have a lower life expectancy I have ……………… all statistical tables, which are of interest only to the specialist Eighty percent of the vote was the ……………… for approval of the plan A cadastral map is a map that shows the ……………and ownership of land parcels Although land ……………… in Vietnam has been recognized as a serious problem, current related knowledge is still poor and does not meet the society‟s needs for formulating better mitigation strategies ……………… is important because together we can so much more than if we were to work independently People think that technology will ………………teaching and learning in the future 10 An excellent educator can ……………… the process of helping learners be teachers of their own learning C POST-READING Task Make any changes and additions to complete the following sentences from the prompts given bellow Urban planners/ city authorities/ cadastral agencies/ need/ detailed information/ distribution/ land/ resources/ towns/ cities Traditionally/ spatial information/ record/ paper/ maps Computer/ software/ technology/ develop/ handle/ process/ digital map/ products GIS/ now/ mature/ technology/ many/ successful/ implementation Any/ commercial/ application/ use/ traditional/ paper maps/ geographical reference/ data/ must/ now/ change/ use/ digital maps Task Read the following paragraph and choose the correct word in the box to fill in each blank solutions benefits XXII Urban land management …(1)… several challenges to government and administrators The vast amount of data is often daunting Accuracy is essential both in data collection and …(2)…;
