Teaching_ESP_in_a_Blended_Learning_Setting | 1.87 MB |
The paper presents the pros and cons of an ESP blended learning experience. The targeted course is offered to intermediate level language learners who never had any previous experience with digital learning. The data consisted of on-line assignments, learners’ responses, and post-experience learner evaluations. The data presentation focused on aligning the blended component to course skill-based goals and outcomes and the IT tools necessary for task completion. The learners’ assessment of the course design and procedure offered several tips to performance improvement. A description of the course, a fully detailed class procedure, and a list of strengths and weaknesses are provided for the benefit of on-line practitioners in second language training programs.
