CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ONLINE LEARNING AND STUDY SKILLS PROGRESS

Summary/Abstract: Scientific research and talent development are key tasks in higher education as they promote science and technology progress and push the frontiers of national development. Cultivation of talent is the key role of any university, given today’s landscape, where knowledge economy and competition for talent &resources are globalized; hence universities promote internationalization. A further area of immediate improvement is the enrichment of teaching resources, including textbooks and extended reading materials, so accessing a rich course database and libraries for international students facilitates multidimensional evaluation systems that capitalize on participation, attendance, homework, papers and project presentations. Modernization of traditional educational assessment includes thorough assignment feedback and a grade appeal framework available to all students. Being accountable for grades, teachers should justify their assessments and provide prompt, useful and constructive feedback. English as medium of instruction promotes the transformation of traditional ideas/methods, enables all students and the didactic staff to keep up to date with the progress in their research field, and provides a solution to ineffective foreign language teaching. However, to give full play to these advantages, English professors must engage in foreign language for academic purposes on real science research projects which require communicative skills in action, so that learners could build greater motivation, enjoying more opportunities to improve own competence benefiting from given professional texts.
