Abstract

Pedagogical conceptualisation of content knowledge is a significant component of the present time teaching of ESP at higher institutions, because usually the lessons in general English are not sufficient for a successful accomplishment of the teaching process assignments and learning process outcomes. In the case of art music related ESP, it is necessary, at the teacher’s side, to have a certain amount of content knowledge in the field of art music in order to be able to find and prepare the appropriate lesson materials and organise the entire teaching process, so that the knowledge is conceptualised and properly used for English language teaching and learning. Such knowledge and its pedagogical conceptualisation will be the central topics of the paper, preceded by some introductory facts on art music and texts on art music, pedagogical content knowledge and the art music related ESP.
