Esp Course Design: an Integrated Approach

ESP course design has grown to become one of the most prominent areas of EFL teaching since the early 1960's. It is a phenomenon that grew out of a number of covering trends. Nowadays there are many courses are offered in ESP areas. There has been several approaches in designing course but each of them has weakness and strengthens. This article aims at finding new approaches in ESP course design that integrate all the needs that the course. It integrates three com-ponent of need analysis, PSA, TSA, and LSA, and integrated source of data-stake-holder, learner, teacher, and expert. Each of the steps of integrated approach in-tegrate all component needed

A Course Design of Interview Preparation Class at the Bali Hotel School

Sebelum memasuki dunia kerja, calon tenaga kerja perhotelan harus melalui proses wawancara berbahasa Inggris. Mahasiswa Sekolah Perhotelan Bali dibekali dengan keterampilan wawancara melalui pelatihan Interview Preparation. Pelatihan tersebut diharapkan dapat mempersiapkan mahasiswa dalam mengikuti wawancara. Hanya saja, hasil yang diharapkan belum memadai. Proses pelatihan belum dilengkapi oleh perangkat pembelajaran yang memadai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan desain mata pelatihan Interview Preparation di Sekolah Perhotelan Bali yang meliputi silabus, materi serta perangkat evaluasi. Ini adalah studi deskriptif kualitatif, dengan pengembangan model desain mata pelatihan yang dikemukakan oleh Hutchinson and Waters (1978), kerangka pengembangan materi oleh Jolly dan Balitho (1998) serta kriteria materi yang baik oleh Tomlinson (1998).Data diperoleh melalui interview dan kuisioner serta dianalisi secara kulaitatif. Penelitian ini menghasilkan silabus, materi, serta perangkat evaluasi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi mahasiswa berdasarkan rata-rata nilai pre tes 60 dan post test 70.Kata Kunci : Desain pelatihan, silabus, pengembangan materi, evaluasi Entering the workforce, hospitality workers must attend an interview process in English. Students of The Bali Hotel School, especially Cruise line program were scheduled to attend the Interview Preparation class to prepare them with the future interview. However, the result was not maximal. The training process was not completed with the proper instrument. This research aimed to develop a course design for English Interview Preparation at The Bali Hotel School including the syllabus, material and the assessment procedure. The research was descriptive qualitative, followed the course design model by Hutchinson and Waters (1978), material development framework by Jolly and Balitho (1998) and considered the criteria of a good material by Tomlinson (1998). The data were collected through interview and questionnaire and qualitatively analyzed. The research generated syllabus, material, and evaluation procedure that effectively increase the students' achievement on the Interview Preparation class from the average score of pre test 60 to post test 70

Problem Based Learning and its use on the Automotive Engineering Design Course at Coventry University

The Automotive Engineering Design course at Coventry University has been in operation since October 1989 and has earned a reputation for creating able engineers well prepared for industry. When originally conceived, a problem led approach to learning was adopted across the course. This approach best enables the course objectives to be satisfied. However, there is nothing new about problem-based learning for engineering design educators but for our engineering science colleagues a degree of novelty has been encountered by this approach. But is the success of the course purely down to this teaching and learning approach? This paper will discuss the opportunities, benefits and limitations of the problem-led approach being extended across a whole course. The paper also will address how the use of industrially defined problems in engineering design projects has been critical to the development of the course. The paper will then attempt to identify the key factors that lie behind the success of the Automotive Engineering Design course. Finally, a set of best practice guidelines for engineering design education will be presented based upon my experiences as the Course Tutor and a teacher of engineering design on this course

Towards an online design studio: a study of social networking in design distance learning

In this paper we examine the role of social networking and online community building in distance design learning. We analysed interactions of Facebook, a popular social network site, using qualitative content analysis and social network analysis. Two distinct learner identities could be identified – a design course Content Focused Learner and a course Context Centred Socialiser. We discuss the implications of this finding particularly in respect to online design studio education

Proposing a Framework for Blended and Flexible Course Design

This paper proposes a Framework for Blended and Flexible Curriculum Delivery. Following a brief introduction about how this project came together, a literature review is undertaken where various terms related with learning and teaching through technology are explained and distinguished. The proposed Blended Learning Framework is explained, discussed, analyzed and mapped to educational practices and their underpinning learning theories. The paper is then summarized and concluded

Representation of industrial products in the early stages of design: Drawing and artistic expression in industrial design

Comunicació presentada a ICERI 2018 11th annual International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation (Seville, Spain. 12-14 November, 2018)Hand drawing is a basic tool for industrial designers, as it allows them to represent and communicate concepts in an agile way during the initial design phase. Although we can find subjects related to drawing in the first years of all university degrees in industrial design, the way to implement the necessary activities is not always the most appropriate, and it may happen that, despite having practiced sketching, at the end of the course the students do not have the necessary skills to communicate their ideas effectively or adequately represent the reality that surrounds them. This paper proposes twelve groups of activities designed to help industrial design students acquire skills related to hand drawing. The activities were implemented during the second course of the Degree in Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering at Universitat Jaume I, improving those implemented during the last course. The paper analyzes and discusses the positive results of the innovations introduced, which improved the mean grade of the course by 4.48% with respect to the grade obtained the previous year

Webs of activity in online course design and teaching

In this study, we followed three faculty members' experiences with designing and teaching online courses for the first time. In order to complete the activity, the faculty members had to work -collaboratively with others across the university. Activity theory provided a framework within which to study faculty members' collaborative activities with members of different activity systems that had different goals, tools, divisions of labor and accountabilities. In concordance with activity theory, such differences led to contradictions, disturbances, and transformations in thinking and work activities. The results of the study have implications for individuals and systems undertaking technology integration in teaching
