Integrated Skills in Online Technical English Classes
Integrated Skills in Online Technical English Classes

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we have sought to investigate some specific challenges pertaining to the integration of skills during Technical English online classes, a modern reality that we have recently been confronted with in an unprecedented way in post-communist education. In order to obtain a balanced approach to Technical English learning and teaching, we shall try to identify a number of key aspects that require careful consideration, particularly in respects that make online education different from face-toface knowledge delivery and acquisition. With a newly emerging reality of online educational dependency, we seek to analyse how online education can become a competitive approach to content delivery and skills formation rather than a compromise on educational goals and results. The paper will also focus on identifying the major shifts in technical students’ needs, goals and expectations in the post-communist age and how they can be tackled during online classes to the best possible outcome.
