HYBRID ESP COURSES AS A PART OF AN INCLUSIVE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Against the backdrop of societal changes, technological advance and developments in pedagogical methodology, inclusion and modern education can be considered in terms of learning modes and language teaching. Hence the article presents a study of the students’ and faculty’s attitudes and perceptions to hybrid academic ESP courses. A survey was conducted in 2023 at a Bulgarian university and its results are discussed with regard to course design and the introduction of inclusive and innovative practices that lead to increased involvement, motivation and opportunities for learning in an academic context.
