The academic requirement for students majoring in fields other than English to pass English for Special or Specific Purposes (ESP) courses at university level has led to a rapid growth of such classes in Iran. However, despite this growth, not much literature on the practical aspects of these classes is available. The aim of the present article is to throw light on the problems of teaching ESP in Iran, beginning with a discussion of some key notions about the discipline. After evaluating the problems of ESP programs, some practical suggestions for improvement are made
