3. Bill Gates: Online Learning
Optimization of the best resources available in
the Internet.
“We should focus on having at least one great
course online for each subject rather than lots of
mediocre courses.”

through
Survey Monkey
Respondents were all B.Tech. pre-final
year students of Amrita School of
Engineering.

10. Survey – Three Parts
Respondents’ Attitude towards Technology
Technology Preferred in ESP by the learners
Effect of Technology on Learners and their
Learning Style

11. Analysis of the findings - the new millennium
learners are strongly inclined towards blending
technology into the ESP teaching learning
process
Inference - Teachers of ESP in engineering
colleges have to be aware of the emerging
trends in the fields of learning theory, teaching
methodology, and educational technology

12. Appropriate Pedagogy
LEARNER-AUTONOMY-BASED CONSTRUCTIVIST PEDAGOGY
In short, what is needed is a pedagogy
that supports interaction, reflection,
experimentation, & active participation
using technology that is available and
affordable.
