The internet has redefined every aspect of human life-personal routines, business practices, and education. Advances in information and communication technology have also influenced English language learning and teaching in classrooms. This study explores the effectiveness of eLearning tools in teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses to engineering students in Saudi Arabia. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire with 15 questions about the employment of eLearning tools in Saudi universities was distributed to 60 ESP instructors selected from across universities in Saudi Arabia based on convenience sampling. The analysis of the data is inferential and interpretive. The results reveal that the adoption of eLearning tools in ESP classrooms is perceived by instructors to be effective for teaching the English language to engineering students. However, as per the result, eLearning tools along with traditional teaching methods are considered more convicing for teaching ESP to engineering students.

Innumerable flock of engineers does not conceive English language adeptly. This research scrutinizes linguistic disciplinarian as regards English for Engineering. Numerous samples have been mustered from PT. PAL Indonesia (Persero), the >35-year state-owned warship-building industry in Surabaya. They, the respondents, are in dilemma and hardship since General English (GE) poles apart from Technical English (TE). Exploratory Factor Analysis or EFA method transfigures the ‘English subject’ on to focal point, then; so does it reorients these clusters of English for Engineering as pioneer of: (i). Translations, (ii). Supply Chain, (iii). Operation Manual Documents, (iv). Standard Operation Procedures, and (v). Object-oriented Analysis and Design/ OOAD. Foregoing multivariate language’s scope in English intermittently mystifies the engineer whether the grammar, structure, meaning, or the principle is common or not; a specific-based linguistic (English for Engineering) can expedite both technicians’ advance English learning furtherance and broaden the significance of English for Specific Purpose (ESP), later on.
