THE IMPORTANCE OF USING ESP READING TECHNIQUES IN STUDENTS LEARNING
Abstract
One of the most crucial abilities for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students in the contemporary world of knowledge and information is the ability to read and comprehend texts with a professional orientation. The study aims to find out how using computer technology and the Critical Pedagogy method might improve students' ESP reading comprehension abilities. In order to achieve this, the following research problem was developed: Does the Internet-integrated use of Critical Pedagogy techniques affect how well students can understand ESP texts in academic settings? A modern study concentrating on observation and evaluation of students' academic performance was part of the research technique. We can talk about and gather some information regarding the value of ESP reading techniques in this article.
