ESP (English for specific purposes) is often juxtaposed with EGP (English for general purposes), usually represented by English for science vs. English for literature. Part of the reason for this is that most English teachers in Japan have literature or linguistics backgrounds rather than training in language teaching. This paper re-examines the relationship between ESP and EGP and searches for the possibility of applying ESP concepts for teaching with general-purpose textbooks and materials, including literary works. One important premise in ESP is that it is aimed at equipping learners with the ability to cope with linguistic issues in their future or current work. Thus, ESP teaching should include autonomous learning skills. Here we suggest the OCHA approach in which learners are taught how to Observe and Classify the linguistic elements of a text, Hypothesize about their usage, and then Apply what has been learned. Keeping this approach in mind when teaching with literary materials can help the EGP teacher make the language being taught more relevant to learner needs in society.
