Teaching Learning

Teaching English as a global language is widely popular now. As such, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is also needed in every field of study. In ESP teaching, different teaching aids are definitely needed: students´ books, teachers´ books, power point presentations, internet videos, or even specific magazines, journals, or newspapers that present interesting topics that fit to the specific field. This variety of teaching aids definitely easeslearning difficulties,such as anxiety to learn, uninteresting class, boredom, or demotivation to learn.Cahyani (2013),Peterová, N (2017), point out that the use of ICT in classes is a requirement as it makes teaching more attractive and more successful learning. Based on the upper named researchers, this study describes English language learning with media, i.e. the use of YouTube videos about Engineering English in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes, as a complementary teaching/learning tool. It reviews research on learning English, specifically Engineering vocabulary and English language fluency. Speaking, that is speaking fluently in ESP, (Engineering English, in our case) is one of language skills that needs more practice, less anxiety, more confidence and more positive approach to English learning. In order to support the students to be able to English language speak fluently, the ESP teacher is compelled to be creative in making the ESP class more interesting. And this could be achieved by creating interesting teaching/learning material that would make the students explore and enhance their English learning abilities. This modern teaching tool is distinguished by the students of engineering as appealing, amusing and spontaneous cognitive capability. Engineering students´ responses are examined and the study comes up with the conclusion that the features available in ICT, i.e. YouTube videos, make the teachers and students able to listen, understand, take notes, and later present topics what they have just watched and listened, or they can present new ideas, even come up with new assignments and issues concerning engineering in simple and interesting ways. The application of ICT in ESP classes make the students able to understand, illustrate and use new engineering vocabulary, interact with other engineering students. Finally, pedagogical implications are offered for ESP teachers, by integrating YouTube videos about Engineering in order to improve and enhance specific learning, i. e Engineering vocabulary and its fluency.

Needs Analysis in the context of language-learning-teaching is an important process to design a certain course and syllabus. It helps course designers to set objectives, choose content, method of instruction, appropriate teaching aids, and classroom activities for different courses. This paper reports the perceptions of the researchers on the English language learning needs of the English undergraduate students of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sheringal, Pakistan. The data is based on the researchers’ personal experience and first-hand observation of the population as the researchers have been teaching in the target context for about a decade. Furthermore, the researchers have always been in discussion with their students and colleagues about the target students’ English learning needs, preferred learning styles, motivation in learning English, interest, strengths/weaknesses, and attitude toward English learning in the target setting. Learners’ assignments, exam answer sheets, and presentations have also been used is a source of data collection. A needs analysis model proposed by Hutchinson and Waters (1987) has been applied in order to analyze the data. The results show that the students lack well grammatical sentences, have poor spellings, capitalization problems, limited vocabulary, unaware of collocations, poor/slow reading comprehension, and lack of effective presentation skills. Furthermore, most of the students have a lack of involvement in classroom activities and feel shy about speaking the English language. It was reported that the provision of authentic material, interesting activities, suitable audio-visual aids, relevant texts, language labs, and other logistic arrangements can better help them in learning the English language.

The Subject

Abstract The increasing role of English in this era of globalization seems to force us to recognize that English has a great impact on all aspects of life, so learning the English language is a must. Previously, studying English at Indonesian universities was limited to General English or English General Purposes, which became general subjects. However, over time, learning English has been developed specifically for English for Specific Purposes. This study is intended to show how the use of English learning at universities, especially in vocational education, works. In this study, the literature study was chosen as the research method. The literature study shows that the use of General English and English for Specific Purposes in higher education is very different. Where there is no special learning material for teaching General English. The learning material usually contains general knowledge of English. Unlike English for Specific Purposes, where teaching English for Specific Purposes requires special materials that are tailored to the needs of students depending on the subject. Keywords: Use, General English, English for Specific Purposes, University, Vocational Education. __________________________ Abstrak Meningkatnya peran bahasa Inggris di era globalisasi ini seolah memaksa kita untuk mengakui bahwa bahasa Inggris mempunyai pengaruh besar di segala aspek kehidupan sehingga mempelajari bahasa Inggris merupakan hal yang wajib. Sebelumnya di Indonesia, pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di perguruan tinggi hanya sebatas General English atau English for General Purposes yang menjadi mata kuliah umum, namun seiring berjalannya waktu pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dikembangkan lagi secara khusus dalam mata kuliah English for Specific Purposes. Studi ini memiliki tujuan untuk melihat bagaimana penerapan kedua pembelajaran bahasa Inggris tersebut di perguruan tinggi khususnya pada pendidikan vokasi. Studi pustaka dipilih sebagai metode penelitian dalam studi ini. Dari studi kepustakaan tersebut diperoleh hasil bahwa penerapan General English dan English for Specific Purposes di perguruan tinggi sangatlah berbeda antara keduanya. Dimana tidak ada materi pembelajaran khusus terhadap pengajaran General English. Materi pembelajaran biasanya berisikan pengetahuan umum tentang bahasa Inggris. Beda halnya dengan English for Specific Purposes, dimana dalam pengajaran English for Specific Purpose, dibutuhkan materi khusus yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dari mahasiswa sesuai dengan bidang yang mereka ambil. Kata Kunci: Penerapan, General English, English for Specific Purposes, Perguruan Tinggi, Pendidikan Vokasi. __________________________

Stage Of Development

Modern professional language training of the period of informatization of education and society pays considerable attention to the correspondence between teaching methods and teaching aids - components of the system of methodology of teaching foreign languages. When discussing the methodological tools of teaching foreign languages, we mean mainly the means of informatization of education, which have not only functionality but also pedagogical capabilities. Such research is extremely relevant for teaching foreign languages in engineering universities, as their results can intensify this specific learning process. The current stage of development of the national higher professional school is characterized by educational innovations aimed at preserving the achievements of the past and at the same time modernizing the system of higher professional education in accordance with the requirements of the time, reorienting it to ensure the achievement of new goals that correspond to the level of development of society and technologies, methods communication in the postindustrial information space. Today, the main goal of training and the criterion for the quality of training a process engineer has become the professional competence of a university graduate. There is a rapid transition from a qualification educational model of a specialist to a systemic one, including a competence-based one. The article is devoted to the problem of the importance of the development of language and intercultural competence of future specialists in technical specialties. Different points of view on this problem are analyzed. The theoretical part of this article presents some pedagogical possibilities of means of informatization of education. It also provides guidelines for language teachers on how to overcome the difficulty of memorizing non-specific for science and technology language learning material by engineering students.
