Abstract

With the outbreak of COVID-19, universities worldwide were forced to quickly transition to online emergency teaching in order to secure the well-being of students and teachers. The paper analyses students’ attitudes towards the use of the Microsoft Teams platform in the instruction of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) at the Faculty of Technical Sciences Čačak during the winter semester 2020. The study focuses on students’ engagement with e-learning, their motivation, and overall satisfaction with ESP instruction during pandemic conditions. The study was conducted with first-year students of engineering (N=79) using an online survey as an exploratory, qualitative research instrument. The findings of the research revealed that students have positive attitudes towards the use of Microsoft Teams in ESP instruction as the e-learning environment. The results suggest that all the available features of the tool are perceived as beneficial and easy to adapt to, with the recorded sessions of online lectures and online testing rated the most useful segments of the online ESP instruction.
新冠疫情期间MS Teams在ESP教学中的应用:学生对电子学习环境的态度
随着新冠肺炎疫情的爆发,世界各地的大学被迫迅速过渡到在线应急教学,以确保学生和教师的健康。本文分析了2020年冬季学期技术科学学院Čačak学生对在特殊用途英语(ESP)教学中使用Microsoft Teams平台的态度。该研究的重点是学生参与电子学习,他们的动机,以及在流行病条件下对ESP教学的总体满意度。本研究采用在线调查作为探索性质的研究工具,对工程专业一年级学生(N=79)进行了研究。研究结果显示,学生对在ESP教学中使用Microsoft Teams作为电子学习环境持积极态度。结果表明,该工具的所有可用功能都被认为是有益的,易于适应,在线讲座和在线测试的录制会话被评为在线ESP教学中最有用的部分。
