　　The use of this lexical approach is essential for successful language acquisition in English for Specific Purposes. However, teachers are often not equipped with the exact English terminology¹ required in very specific trade sectors². For this reason, core vocabulary sheets go a long way in helping³ teachers provide adequate materials for students with English for Special Purposes needs.
These core vocabulary reference sheets provide between 150 and 240 key words and phrases for each industry. Each series is divided into three pages that, when combined, form an alphabetical⁴ list. In taking this lexical approach to attaining⁵ key vocabulary, students should be encouraged to translate the specific words and phrases into their native tongues as each phrase has a very specific translation in each language.
