ESP is oriented towards mastering skills for professional communication. According to Osama Khalifa (2012), ESP teaching produces many problems such as problems for learners, problems for teachers, problems of methodology and materials, and problems of assessment and testing can be solved which require better teachers and better training. They need to understand the nature of the ESP teaching, they have to be able to observe and organize the learner's progress and to diagnose his problems. They have to be familiar with the widest possible range of alternative teaching techniques, learning requirements and the learner's needs. ESP teacher need to exercise professionalism based on training and experience. The structure and content of language curricula, when modern languages were first introduced into universities, were much influenced by the need to achieve academic respectability (Radford, 1985). Language curricula is therefore dominated by the systematic study of grammar, the regular carrying out of translation exercises into and out of language, the close study of set literary and science texts, the broad study of philological studies of the language (Maddock, 1994). The core of content based instruction is the lofty ideal that language instruction cannot be devoid of the context in which it is presented, and moreover, that content rather than language structures should be the driving force in curriculum development (Erickson & Schulz, 1981). According to freiermuth(2001), Content based teaching generally adhere to the idea that content is superior to grammaticality of language structures, but that form and content need to be integrated into language instruction.
