Summary/Abstract: The need to teach more skills and not just knowledge is mandatory these days. We have to equip our students with professional, digital and even survival skills for the current society and the labour market. Therefore, besides teaching them vocabulary, grammar structures, academic writing required in their field of study, we should teach them the skills required by the labour market. The paper presents some theoretical background for the use of ESP in the educational field and reveals the results of a study conducted among students. We wanted to investigate their opinion on skill development through ICT, on the apps they like to use and on the type of activities that they prefer.
