General english vs english for specific purposes
I,d like any of you to tell me what are the advantages ,if any , of teaching English for specific purposes at secondary schools? Mainly the reading skill is exploited. This is the tendency in the province where I live and I cannot see the point.
Thank you

The advantages may be mostly to the teachers rather than to the students. It's probably easier to teach just reading. It requires less training to make a teacher competent at teaching reading.
