An Exploration Of The Esp Expectations And Motivational Orientations In Algerian Science Faculties: A Case Study
Authors : Outemzabet Belkacem .
Abstract
The present study aimed to explore ESP course expectations and motivational orientations in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Laghouat University. Two instruments were used to collect data: a survey questionnaire for the students and semi-structured interviews for the English language instructors. Fifty-six (56) students responded to the questionnaire and two English language teachers were interviewed. The study revealed the existence of a deep mismatch in expectations between the students and their English language instructors, due mainly to the English language instructors’ lack of awareness of and expertise in ESP teaching methodology and course design. This situation has resulted in a dramatic demotivation and absenteeism on the part of the students.
