Some students from the above-mentioned career were asked about their opinion regarding the teaching of Technical English related to their profession. Most of the students polled said they would like to learn this branch of English in order to increase their Business English vocabulary. Based on the above results, the guideline was applied through an 18-hour course focused on English for Academic and Occupational Purposes (EAOP). It is part of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), which is a sphere of teaching English language that takes into account the learners’ language needs. The guideline content was taught through the application of the Task-based Language Learning (TBLL) method, which focuses on meaning rather than forms of the language. The results collected after applying the guideline showed these students had the opportunity to improve their Technical English knowledge, since they said all their expectations regarding the content (vocabulary) and the methodology were covered during the course period. Finally, it can be said that the creation and application of the ESP based guideline had a positive effect on the participants, who were able to learn the English language related to their professional career.en-USENSEÑANZAINGLÉS TÉCNICOThesis
