Abstract: 
Contemporary university English instruction typically exhibits issues such as antiquated pedagogical notions and a monolithic teaching approach. Conventional teacher-centered instruction, characterised by a lack of interactivity and an inability to completely engage students’ drive to learn, directly results in students' inefficacy in the classroom and suboptimal teaching outcomes, a phenomenon also observed in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction. Crafting effective instructional activities that engage students actively and stimulate their interest can augment both learning efficiency and teaching effectiveness.
