Integrating Facebook and Face-to-face instruction into an ESP Course: English for Hospitality and Tourism
| Huu Hoang NGUYEN | — | — |
Abstract:
With the rapid growth of international trade and globalization, the English language has been emphasized in Asian countries, thus professionals with a good command of English have become essential. This study aimed to establish a blended model combining face-to-face (F2F) instruction for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course: English for Hospitality and Tourism. The research method was a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, including peer and instructor feedback, interviews, and the learning satisfaction survey. A total of 44 English major sophomore students participated in the study. The results of the study reveal that this model could contribute to the learning effectiveness and satisfaction of an ESP course when the course is well planned, the equipment is sufficient and supportive as well as students are familiar with related applications. Most importantly, peer and the instructor’s feedback and the characteristics of Facebook, including free access, ease of revision, and interesting material, were major factors that motivated students to learn effectively and enhanced their satisfaction with the course.
