Keywords:

This paper deals with the specific role of a teacher of Sports English in terms of his/her contribution to creating
standardised sports terminology in Serbian mostly created by adaptation of the original terms from English
through the process of translation and borrowing. Presentation is divided in three sections. The first outlines
the role of an ESP teacher in sports, especially in the light of English as a global language of communication, the
second proposes a teamwork model of standardising sports terminology in Serbian, whereas the third
summarises conclusions.
