Abstract

It is important to identify the situation our students encounter in the process of learning the English language, especially through ESP courses. We came to an idea to actively engage our students in the process of learning/acquisition and assessment, in order to encourage their learning efficiency. The crucial is students’ readiness to explore new technologies that can enhance their studying. Establishing proper environment for EMI is of great importance for our students, as well as for our country, in the light of world academic flows.
