The use of this lexical approach is essential for successful language acquisition in English for Specific Purposes. However， teachers are often not equipped with the exact English terminology required in very specific trade sectors. For this reason， core vocabulary sheets go a long way in helping teachers provide adequate materials for students with English for Special Purposes needs.
These core vocabulary reference sheets provide between 150 and 240 key words and phrases for each industry. Each series is divided into three pages that， when combined， form an alphabetical list. In taking this lexical approach to attaining key vocabulary， students should be encouraged to translate the specific words and phrases into their native tongues as each phrase has a very specific translation in each language.
