- Abstract
ESP has become a main strand of college English learning in some non-English speaking countries, such as China. But the effect of ESP learning in China is not so optimistic or satisfying, which is only regarded as another name for General English. The ESP learners can hardly benefit from the course they have learnt on campus. They have to take some specific language training before they can use the language frequently in their future work. The situation is mainly due to the lack of practice courses in the real circumstances when they are having the courses at school. According to Communicative Needs Theory, the language users can be easily disturbed when the communicative environment is changed, their flexibility to use languages, tolerance for error of languages, discourse styles, repetition and hesitation are also surly different. Therefore the practice courses in the stimulation laboratory are required, which can set up the real situation without the limitation of places or time, to meet the needs of the different target scenarios. The paper concludes that the practice courses in the simulation laboratory are necessary and highlighted in ESP learning which will be the bridge for the newly-graduates and the real working environment.
