Studying ESP involves more than simply learning a collection of technical linguistic words; it is about learning how to use English in a particular situation while also including the necessary skills and language learning objectives. The current study aimed to examine the rationale for employing the translation method to teach ESP to third-year computer science students at the University of Tlemcen. This study employed a case study approach. A questionnaire was administered to ESP the teachers in the department of Science and Technology, and classroom observations on third-year students of computer science were conducted. The study's findings indicated that students pursuing third-year computer science courses at Tlemcen University experience a range of difficulties while interacting with professional resources. The proposed translation method in ESP may be incorporated and adapted as an effective technique for ESP teachers and students to improve learners’ language skills related to their academic field. Keywords: Content-based approach; ESP Context; ESP courses; ESP Students.
With the expansion of technology and the rapid spread of Internet use around the world, the supply and demand for education have shifted. In some cases, demographic changes have led to population increases, posing challenges to higher education in terms of demand and supply of education, especially given the global challenges of Covid19. Higher education institutions are researching and adopting pedagogical approaches to meet the changing needs of education in response to various challenges, especially with Covid19. E-learning is one of these modes. This work aims to explore the effectiveness of this new model (mixed education) in English language departments, in particular for third-Year students. It explores the pedagogical issues of e-learning in education for development thus it offers a descriptive study between face-to-face and distance education, which highlights the characteristics and difficulties encountered by EFL Learners. As a result of the study, students found obstacles that hinder course continuity, and they are detailed in the study. Keywords: Blended learning; EFL Learners; higher education; students’ achievement.
Integrating translation in English for specific purposes (ESP) teaching and learning is a crucial issue since the last decade of the 20th century. This paper aims to analyse the role of translation as a helpful tool for ESP classes on the use of translation in ESP teaching and learning. Therefore, a case study is employed to describe the necessity of using translation in ESP classes, especially, for third-year computer science students at the University of Tlemcen. A mixed method was used; a questionnaire was administered to ESP teachers in the Department of Science and Technology, and classroom observation on third-year students of computer science was conducted. The results revealed that computer sciences students at the University of Tlemcen faced various hindrances when dealing with professional resources which are mainly at the level of content due to the nature of ESP courses they were exposed to during their studies. Keywords: Computer science; ESP; ESP courses; students; translation.
Higher education institutions are researching and adopting pedagogical approaches to meet the changing needs of education in response to various challenges, especially with Covid19 and E-learning is one of these modes. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of this new model (mixed education) in the English language on Third-year English foreign learners' achievement and their attitudes toward using it. It compares the results of various ways of teaching and students' attitudes toward their use. The case study is used as a research design. The participants of the study were 30 students, the questionnaire was designed to confirm the study's validity and reliability, and quantities were used to analyze the data. The findings have shown that there were positive towards using blended learning. The study recommends further research into the use of blended learning in higher education. Keywords: Blended learning; EFL Learners; E-learning; face-to-face learning; students’ achievement; higher education.
