Teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to bilingual students can present both challenges and opportunities. While bilingual students may have a good command of their first language, which can facilitate their learning of ESP, they may also face challenges such as interference from their first language, cultural differences, and varying levels of proficiency in English. Effective teaching strategies such as using bilingual dictionaries, providing authentic materials, and incorporating cultural elements into lessons can help address these challenges. In addition, teaching ESP to bilingual students presents opportunities for cross-cultural communication and the development of intercultural competence. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities of teaching ESP to bilingual students and highlights effective teaching strategies that can be employed.
