Learners specializing in any discipline require proficiency in both language skills and their specific area of study to cope with tertiary education. This paper reviews strategies used to plan, develop, and implement a content-based language course for learners specializing in Information Technology (IT). Strategies used to develop content-based language courses through the integration of language and research skills with content are explored and applied. Technical description, intensive and extensive reading of authentic IT texts, and a research project form the syllabus to achieve the required outcomes. Collaboration with faculty members of the Department of Computing helped in arriving at the learning outcomes required. This paper also presents the effects of implementing the course on learners’ performance in other courses taken concurrently as well as in later stages of academic progression. Curriculum design and application methods discussed here could be applied to ESP courses for other disciplines.
