PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT AND GROUP PRESENTATION FOR ESP COURSES TOWARD POSTMETHOD

Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is an essential subject for university students to prepare well for them in the future professional life as well as further advanced learning. However, the current ESP teaching is still largely based on traditional teaching approaches such as Grammar Translation or Communicative Language Teaching. Students often feel that learning ESP is a burden and is frustrated with classes. In this paper, we propose a method for renovating teaching and learning towards Postmethod. Specifically, the paper guides the use meticulously of portfolio and group presentation to increase the effectiveness of ESP courses at University of Information and Communication Technology - Thai Nguyen University.
