• Summary/Abstract: Based on the grounded theory, this research carries on in-depth content analysis and documents encoding core theses in ESP teaching from the CSSCI databases and constructs an ESP teachingнecological chain system by applying the teaching ecological theories, which involves the ESP teaching ecology, teachers’ ecology, teaching material ecology and ESP external environment. The ecological theories like the holistic association effect, flowerpots effect, limiting factor, dynamic balance, law of tolerance, etc. are used to explain this ESP teaching chain system. The suggestions and implications are that ESP teaching can be implemented moderately in a dynamic balance by exploring the evolving teaching factors from the overall relevant perspective, breaking the flowerpots effect and finding the limiting factors.
