Specialist English is for learners who already have a general level of English and now need to work in a particular field or do a specific type of task. It supports areas such as medical interaction, technical reporting, legal or policy language, and other professional communication. Lessons focus on the phrases, formats, and interaction styles that are typical in those settings, so learners can perform the task, not just talk about it.
