It focuses on the types of work social networks can be used for, on language skills they help develop. The study was conducted with a survey method. The research was held at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” and the sample was 170 full-time students of Energy Management and Energy Saving Institute and 60 lecturers of the Department of English for Engineering. It was conducted during December-February of 2019 – 2020 academic year. Within the context of the research, the students’ and teachers’ surveys were conducted. They were asked about their experience in using social networks and their application concerning university-related work and studies. The analysis of responses in the questionnaires showed that students and their teachers have a positive perception of using social media networks for English for specific purposes teaching in the classroom and outside. From the conducted research, we can conclude that using social networks is effective in ESP teaching and these advanced technologies can improve students’ ESP proficiency, enhance their motivation for studying foreign languages, and can be used as corpora of authentic materials. The results of this research may be used for other studies concerning ESP teaching and technology application in this process.  \nKeywords: English for specific purposes; social networks; language teaching; language skills; ESP proficiency.  \nIntroduction  \nThe researchers’ interest in social networks (SNs) is growing due to their popularity and scientists regard using social networks not only for social communication but also suggest a new educative approach in applying them.  \nHaving analysed scientific works on using technological advances in language teaching, we can say there have been two waves of such advances. The first wave is marked by the appearance of computer technologies and the Internet use in the classroom for teaching and learning. It has marked the beginning of the era of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), that according to Garet (2009) should be based on pedagogy, theory, and technology. Further developments in technologies and language teaching brought about the concept of network-based language teaching (Arno-Macia, 2012) or the second wave in language teaching.  \nMany scientists became interested in researching SNs influence on the language learning process (Hadoussa & Menif, 2019; Bernal & Fondevila-Gascon, 2015) . They consider that using SNs for language teaching can provide positive aspiration, promote the implementation of blended learning and help students develop their autonomy. Although, alongside with this research, we should mention the study of Carrió Pastor (2015) on online activities for language learning. It showed that online collaborative activities did not improve learners’ autonomy in the second language reading and writing skills. In this research, the author analysed the students’ group chats and e-mails, where they were given different collaborative tasks, feedback and forum activities of the students. The results of the research led to the conclusion that online group work decreased students’ autonomy, they are more dependent on ‘stronger’ students.  \nModern educators face the necessity","cbCaiaL8daFyA1EB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaL8daFyA1EB","pdf",349076,"English","# Introduction\n## Social networks and language teaching trends\n## Research background and prior findings\n## Purpose and relevance of the present study","[{\"question\":\"What does the study investigate about social networks in ESP teaching?\",\"answer\":\"It examines students’ and teachers’ views on using different social networks in teaching English for specific purposes to future engineers, including what work types they support and what language skills they develop.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a survey at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, involving 170 full-time students and 60 lecturers from the Department of English for Engineering.\"},{\"question\":\"What conclusions does the research reach about using social networks in ESP?\",\"answer\":\"Using social networks is described as effective for ESP teaching, able to improve students’ ESP proficiency, increase motivation for studying foreign languages, and serve as corpora of authentic materials.\"}]","USING SOCIAL NETWORKS IN TEACHING ESP TO ENGINEERING STUDENTS | PDF",1792066257]
