“…Educating qualifi ed specialists nowadays envisions their fl uency in at least one foreign language, which meets the needs of very competitive labour markets (Shcherbakova & Ilina, 2019). Teaching language for specifi c purposes has always asked for a specifi c skill, dual knowledge -adding online teaching requirements to the abovementioned makes a present-day ESP teacher a true wizard.…”

Th e aim of this case study is to investigate how confi dent the teachers feel while teaching online in synchronous mode and to examine whether this emotive attitude is in correlation with their prior experience in both formal and informal online environments. It also aims to establish correlations between the respondents' attitudes towards the degree of diffi culties and challenges pertaining to teaching all language skills in an online education context. Th e fi ndings derived from the analysis of the respondents' answers point out to the need to investigate the possibilities off ered by digital technologies in order to help learners enhance their language skills and competencies.

“…Based on Shcherbakova and Ilina's (2019) research on the effectiveness of using cooperative technology and online platforms for developing communication skills in a foreign language, we find that students are actively involved in communication activities that require goal setting, achievement, and acquisition of new knowledge. Technology can provide a broad exposure to foreign languages as well as repetition of already learned materials, mutual learning in dialogue through which individual skills, and communication, analysis, synthesis and comparison skills can be developed.…”

The article presents the research of empirical mixed methods on the use of a modern mobile reading app compared to traditional forms of teaching in English business classes in higher education in Slovakia. The research belongs to the theoretical frame of the mobile assisted language learning field that has generated an interest since the early 1990 thanks to the development of mobile technologies, their features, and their functions all over the world. The research sample consisted of 40 freshman students from the University of Economics in Bratislava who were equally divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental treatment lasted one semester and was based on analyzing books on a biweekly basis from Blinkist, the reading app based on the protocol the authors created, where three higher-level thinking domains of Bloom’s taxonomy (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001) were identified. Students were also asked to read/listen to the books every week. Even though the current findings indicate no relationship between enhancing English reading skills and incorporating reading apps in a foreign language learning, SWOT analysis from focus group interviews shows different results. It is regarding the positive perception of working with the reading app in business English classes. Based on these findings, the authors make pedagogical implications about using reading apps as a part of the curriculum of blended learning in business English classes in higher education.

“…In the virtual reality established by Internet, learners can imitate and explain the simulated world, and they can experience the whole process of knowledge acquisition instead of just getting facts or conclusions from teachers. Liberating students from traditional teacher-centered mode, Internet-aided teaching allows learners immersed in a more social environment where their interest and motivation in learning can be promoted [1][2].…”

As a new teaching method, multi-interactive teaching has been more and more recognized by educators in this fast-growing information age due to its advantage of facilitating communication. However, more empirical studies still need to be done to investigate its effect. This study aims to investigate the impact of multi-interactive teaching method on college students’ English proficiency and their learning motivation through a quasi-experimental design. The Experimental Group (44 students) was taught using multi-interactive teaching approach while the Control Group (44 students) learned English in a conventional way over a span of 14 weeks. T-test was adopted to examine whether there was significant difference in English proficiency (listening, reading, writing, and translation) and their learning motivation between the two groups. The findings revealed that except writing, the Experimental Group obtained significantly higher scores than the Control Group. Hence, it is recommended that multi-interactive teaching be used as an effective method to promote students’ English proficiency and learning motivation in College English classes.
