Understanding New Learners and Reconsidering Learning Pathways - Teaching and...Cristina Felea
This is a presentation for the ClipFlair conference organised by the Faculty of Letters (Babes-Bolyai University) in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 9-10 May 2014.
Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL, ESL) is an attractive professional choice, with increasingly varied career and research options. Since the early 1960s, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has gradually become one of its prominent areas, with various sub-fields gaining recognition and being subject of (interdisciplinary) research ranging from applied linguistics and communication to psycho- and sociolinguistics and intercultural studies. The provisions for the study of foreign languages, particularly English, in Romanian higher education, have followed closely or even preceded the developments needed to adjust to the changes affecting economy, society and education in the aftermath of the historical events in 1989 and the country’s admission in the European Union (2007).
The current paper describes the case of ESP in Babes-Bolyai University, by tracing its beginnings and coming of age and presenting the challenges raised by current issues of student internalisation, academic study/communication needs and the new perspectives growing from the emerging paradigm of lifelong learning and the integration of Information and Communication Technologies. The author’s personal experience in implementing a blended learning environment for teaching ESP is used to highlight the benefits and the challenges encountered in the process as well as directions for future developments. Finally, based on the view that ESP is a work-in-progress, founded on the continuous analysis of needs, means and institutional and cultural contexts, a curricular and research proposal is made that includes solutions for the development of learning skills needed in academic study, continuous language learning and lifelong learning.
