When considering English education for art students, there is the issue of handling their area of specialization in English classes. One solution is adopting an English for specific purposes (ESP) approach to identify the studentsʼ needs and offer classes that use their expertise. As an ESP practice, the authors have implemented the program, “Artwork Presentation in English.” In this research, they created and analyzed a vocabulary list for animation majors that is necessary for the presentation. Over 80% of the list’s English words are included in university students’ basic vocabulary, and the frequency of technical terms is low. However, a closer examination reveals that some words are used in a special sense even though they are plain. In compound words, each constituent’s original meanings are sometimes expanded into others. Since general dictionaries and word lists for university students cannot cover these special usages, this list should be utilized to give an effective presentation.
