This paper by Laurence Anthony, proposes using AI tools as support assistants for the ESP expert, serving in multiple roles through the design and implementation stages. As examples, the paper will describe how AI can serve in a useful role when creating and analyzing stakeholder surveys. It can also be used to synthesize the results of needs analysis into a well-formed set of learning objectives. It can also be used directly by learners in the classroom, supplementing traditional data-driven approaches with a natural language query system that greatly facilitates the access to target language and interpretation of language patterns. Finally, it can be used to assist in the evaluation of learner outputs, judging the appropriacy of learner language in highly specialized domains.
