Description | The paper considers the issue of politically correct language use: whether such sensitive language domains as race, gender, sexual affinity, mental/physical personal development neutral terms really seem to be used, whether such changing language is reflected in our classroom, and the way and type of teaching methods we could introduce, especially in ESP classes. |
