Learners' perceptions of e-learning.

Abstract

This article describes how students perceive the usefulness of e-learning of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) at tertiary level. The research is based on the analysis of data obtained from the survey on learner attitudes to integrating online activities in the traditional English language classroom. The respondents are of five different specializations and study ESP either at University or College. The level of English proficiency is B2 or C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The learner responses to the statements of a specially designed questionnaire are analyzed by a means of Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) with the aim of determining correlations among different specializations, data reliability and statistical significance. The implications of the findings are discussed.
