Abstract

This paper is aimed at analyzing the role played by new media tools in ESP teaching, with an emphasis on business English. The paper is divided into two main sections, i.e. a theoretical and a practical one. The first section provides a short introduction to the basic theoretical aspects of the notion of new media and its tools, and it also briefly presents several Internet-based activities. Furthermore, it underlines that teachers should be aware of several issues related to the use of the Internet in the classroom. The second section designs an experiment related to the use of new media tools in the ESP seminar, aimed at increasing student participation, granting learners a more active role in the learning process and contributing to the enhancement of their ESP skills. Moreover, this experiment also professes the idea that new media tools can strengthen the collaboration among students and enable teachers to work more as facilitators/ consultants, encouraging communication in the ESP seminars.
