Abstract

The present paper shares a learning and teaching experience built on a project-based methodology using Instagram accounts to improve technical vocabulary in the ESP classroom. Participants were 75 undergraduate sports science students who attended our English for Professional and Academic Communication ESP course at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) and participated in the project during the spring semester of 2022. To achieve our objective, the participants were divided into 16 self-arranged groups, each expected to develop a fitness project based on Instagram accounts. At the end of the experience, participants were invited to complete an ad hoc designed questionnaire giving their opinion about the use of Instagram accounts as a learning tool to acquire specific vocabulary in the field of sports science. The learners reported high positive perceptions towards using Instagram to develop technical vocabulary. This paper recommends observing quality standards when integrating Instagram content into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses.

Instagram作为提高体育科学学生技术词汇的学习工具

本文分享了一种基于项目的学习和教学经验，该方法使用Instagram账户来提高ESP课堂中的技术词汇。参与者是75名体育科学本科生，他们参加了我们在马德里政治大学（西班牙）开设的专业和学术交流英语ESP课程，并在2022年春季学期参加了该项目。为了实现我们的目标，参与者被分为16个自行安排的小组，每个小组都希望根据Instagram账户制定一个健身项目。在体验结束时，参与者被邀请完成一份专门设计的问卷，就如何使用Instagram账户作为学习工具来获取体育科学领域的特定词汇发表意见。学习者报告说，他们对使用Instagram开发技术词汇有很高的积极看法。本文建议在将Instagram内容整合到特定用途英语（ESP）课程中时遵守质量标准。
