SUMMARY:ESP for the 21st Century: providing a bridge between university and the workplace: English for Professional Purposes at the University of Verona
DESCRIPTION:3rd Meeting of TESOL-Italy and TESOL-Ukraine Join Project "Sharing Context Between Cultures"\n\n\nTIME: May 10th 2022\, 7.00 pm (Ukrainian time)\nTITLE: ESP for the 21st Century: providing a bridge between university and the workplace: English for Professional Purposes at the University of Verona by Sharon Hartle and Valeria Franceschi\n Zoom link to the session: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/8575070872?pwd=N21TNnNDNjRYMkFYSEdIdXViMzE3dz09\n ABSTRACT:\n\nOne problem related to ESP teaching which has often been underlined is the lack of a systematic framework\n(Littlewood 2014; Ennis & Petrie 2020). Developing such a framework involves focusing on two major aspects:\nthe curriculum or teaching aims of the course and its pedagogy. This presentation focuses on the case study\nof ‘English for the World of Work’\, an English for Professional Purposes course designed to improve key\nlanguage competencies required for the Italian world of work. It is a blended learning course developed at\nVerona University to meet the needs both of university students and of professional practitioners. In the five\neditions of the course\, productive skills have been promoted. The course\, however\, aims to go beyond the\ndevelopment of such skills focusing also on the development of learner communication skills from the\nviewpoint of the multimodal; students have been trained to develop both awareness of and competence in\nmultimodal communication skills related to the visual\, gestural\, and spatial modes. The presentation\nillustrates the blended learning framework that was developed\, which provides in-class scaffolding and\nonline support; this alsofosters learnerautonomy for students in theiracquisition of key Communication\nStrategies.\nEnnis\, M.\, & Petrie\, G.
