In its development up to now, ESP has paid scent attention to the question of how people learn, focusing instead on the question of what people learn (Hutchinson and Waters, 1987). It has in other words, been language-centered approach. An ESP program is therefore built ion an assessment of purpose and needs and the functions for which English is required. ESP concentrates more language in contest than on teaching grammar and language structures. It covers subjects varying from accounting or computer science to tourism and business management. The ESP focal point is that English is not taught as a subject separated from the student real world, instead, it is integrated into a subject matter area important to the learners This thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA in English Language and Literature of East West University, Dhaka, Bangladesh Mon, 04 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/123456789/4635 2011-07-04T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/123456789/4628 Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderlands/La Frontera the New Mestiza: A Perfect Example of Postmodern Hybrid Text Sultana, Naznin The intention of this discussion is to analyze Anzaldua text borderland/la Frontera the new mestiza to present the text as a postmodern hybrid text.

What makes the novel even more dazzlingly interesting is its matryoshka doll like structure, its varied narrative style and its wide-ranging language use from different cultures and worlds. Once the first story ends abruptly, one turns the page to get sucked into the next story but remains unquestionably a bit puzzled as to how and why the previous story had stopped in the middle so unexpectedly. This happens with each story until one reaches the 6th story which is complete. After the sixth story, the remaining halves of the first five stories are continued but in reverse order with the second half of the first story coming at the very end.
