Annotation
The challenge ESP students mostly encounter when learning specific terms is the fact that they can use them mostly in professional contexts, other than in everyday usage, and in so doing the memorization of the ESP terms is made harder and needs longer time span.
Thus a survey was carried out to find out the most successful strategies that architecture and civil engineering students use to learn the ESP terms faster and longer. The data collected show the various methods/strategies students apply to practice new vocabulary introduced during the teaching process. The results were made known to all students so they could share approaches and adopt them in their learning procedure.
The assimilation of specific terms is made easier when strategies are combined and used in proper contexts in class and elsewhere.
