Digital Content Creation as a Part of ESP Courses

Abstract

The term "digital content creation" implies the creation of digital content in different textual and/or multimedia forms and formats and its distribution through the Internet. In current literature, it can be noticed that, within English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, digital content (except Power Point presentations, often created by students) has been primarily used in the form of teaching tools for different aspects of language knowledge improvement, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In terms of that, the goal of this paper is to demonstrate how the use of the creation of such content in the ESP teaching process, implying not only PowerPoint presentations, but also questionnaires, personal websites, blogs, video presentations, video tutorials and podcasts, can also be beneficial and contribute to various aspects of English language use, comprehension, and overall communication skills.
