The ESP Technology-Supported Learning Environment

Abstract

This paper discusses the implementation of computers and the Internet technology in the learning environment within the ESP context. Designing and implementing digital technology in the teaching and learning process is one of the most demanding tasks. The use of technologies in the ESP classroom enables students to be active and collaborative, which contributes to improving learning achievements and increasing learning outcomes. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of learning experiences, as well as to produce a highly social and authentic, supportive and productive learning environment that allows students the construction of relevant knowledge. The study examines students' perceptions towards the implementation of digital technologies in the classroom. The results of the research show that students have very positive attitudes towards computers and the Internet technologies and their integration in the ESP learning environment.

Effectiveness of Environmental Based Thematic Learning Tools (EBTLT) in Improving the Science Literacy Skills

“…Teacher as the manager of learning has the role of facilitating learning to be effective. Educators must help the students to be successful in the future by instilling critical thinking through teaching various academic disciplines (Zivkovic, 2016).Teachers are required to develop learning tools using learning principles: from students being told to students finding out; from the teacher as a single learning source to learn multiple learning resources; from a textual approach to a process as a strengthening of the use of a scientific approach;from partial learning to integrated learning; from learning that emphasizes single answers to learning with answers that are multidimensional in truth; from verbalism learning to applicative skills.…”
