An English-for-Special-Purposes (ESP) text embodies structure and conventionalized features that play important roles in conveying its message to members of the specific discourse community. This means that such a text should not be simplified or otherwise subjected to loss of its generic integrity, yet these texts are often difficult for undergraduate English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students who need to be introduced to them in what is likely to be one of their last formal English language courses before entering the discourse community. To deal with this dilemma, one educator has suggested "easification" of ESP texts. Here this idea is extended to texts for students majoring in pharmaceutical science. Students are taught to analyze the text for four elements: purpose; audience; information; and language features. This exercise makes students more aware of differences in the physical format and features of different texts. Then, using reference materials, students learn to identify sections to examine for greater clarification. Important terminology is also highlighted, then learned in class exercises using contextual clues. The objective is not to change the text but to make its contents more accessible through analysis.
