Abstract
Technology is inevitably connected to the teaching/learning process. It helps instructors, but at the same time, technology transfers responsibility for learning to students. Students can guide their learning at their own pace, direct their progress and have access to course content by participating in online/hybrid learning. That is why digital skills are essential in today’s education and society. But, what digital skills are needed to learn and thrive today? How about the skills needed to encourage engagement and motivation in learning? Digital literacy and confidence for everyone involved in education have become more vital than ever.This paper describes the results of a one-semester English for Information Technology course at the South East European University in Macedonia to determine if the core curriculum items provide motivation for students engaged in online/hybrid class. Also, it determines whether the students have the capabilities and skills to participate entirely in the digital society.The hybrid model discussed in this paper is the concurrent teaching-learning model. In this model, the author taught some students who were in person with her in the physical classroom, and at the same time, the teacher’s instruction was being streamed live through Google Meet with other students logged in at home. The teaching/learning process results will show why it is necessary to change our classroom practices in the modern education system.
