The aim of this paper is to present and also introduce a new educational challenge to readers, namely teaching English for Specific Purposes in an academic environment where the aim is not only the formation of future specialists in economics or fine arts, but also the desire to make students enjoy English classes for the way teaching takes place, for the manner of delivering pieces of information and for the passion for this language transmitted during classes. Moreover, we consider that teaching ESP leaves room for creativity, opening gates towards multiculturalism, general knowledge, towards a universe where there are no limits regarding the power of information conveyed in English. What should a teacher of English do in this context, what are the appropriate means of transmitting knowledge, which are the best methods, when is the appropriate moment to make a smooth transition towards another topic and, more importantly, how much should be said and how much should be left to students’ discovery?
