Drobnic's place in the early history (pre-1980)of English for Specific Purposes is described in "ESP serial publications before The ESP Journal/English for Specific Purposes: Recollections and reflections of an old-timer". This article appears in English for Specific Purposes, Volume 60, October 2020, Pages 4–8. "Pride of place here belongs to The ESP Newsletter and EST Clearinghouse from Oregon State University and under the Editorship and Management of Karl Drobnic. In effect, during those years the field was rapidly coming of age."[2]

After gaining cohesion in the 1970s as a legitimate academic pursuit, English for Specific Purposes has become a recognized sub-field of applied linguistics, pursued by academicians at universities worldwide. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_for_specific_purposes.

Drobnic worked as a consultant to the governments and university systems of

from 1990 to 2002.
