Abstract

The utilization of a language in specialized situations and with a specialized audience produces a specialized style of langauge usage. For example, using English in special contexts can lead to difficulties in understanding its usage among other users of the langauge, especially those who are not exposed to that specific language style. In this regard, language trainers should take note of the difficulties of foreigners in using rechnical English and should take steps to accommodate these problems in their teaching activities.
