چکیده مقاله:

The study aimed to find the research trend of Iranian English language teaching journals with the focus on one of its major sub-disciplines, English for Specific Purposes. To this end, ۲۰ articles were chosen from two leading Iranian journals in the aforementioned theme, and the articles were meticulously investigated by two MA students of TEFL using NVivo۱۱. The findings indicated that a special attention was paid to the role of the teachers whereas scant attention was given to the role of students in ESP studies. Also, the results revealed that reading comprehension was the most frequent macro-skill being scrutinized in ESP studies while vocabulary was the most frequently studied micro-skill. Implications of the present study for the researches could be that it helps them not get stuck in a research loop and consider various elements to discover the prevailing problems in ESP courses. Moreover, the findings carry practical implications for the ESP instructors to lead a more research-based ESP course in order to meet the students’ needs.
