Digitising English for Engineers: Innovations in Learning technologies in ELT
Main Article Content
Abstract
English language engineering students have been at the verge of modern technology-driven paths for quite some time now. Now that since everybody knows that English monopoly is the factor which plays a significant role in digitally assisted learning, English learners have a significant target to accomplish at their hands. The learners, who belong to technical streams like Engineering, grapple with multiple communicative skills concerns. These undergraduates, who study Professional English nowadays, are introduced to facets in a curriculum that adapts a much more learner-centric attitude with the modern age digital technology. Software-based learning has proved to be very useful in terms of personal contact and self-help, as well as offering descriptive and real-time knowledge. Some technology aided learning tools often help burgeoning engineers interact better. The internet is, of course, a strong tool that affects the language learner in a positive way, yet the instructor is irreplaceable. Nowadays, Industry 4.0 is a development in industrial transformation and digitalization. Industry 4.0's impacts and significance represent many facets of our lives. This study attempts to examine literatures based on an exploratory analysis approach basis the above mentioned factors.
Engineering students still face a shortage of digital community, instruction manuals, authentic information and language needs when applying digitally assisted activities to their learning. The study evaluates Digital Language, Learners’ needs and Industry 4.0 literature from different platforms. Surprisingly, the findings reveal that the study conducted in these domains are so narrow, concentrating only on one of the earlier threads in the above mentioned regions; although, some study papers were found describing the interrelationships between these regions. Therefore, the report suggests that addressing the differences and performing experiments in these fields will be helpful in addressing some of the engineering students’ problems and proposes that researchers undertake potential studies focused on Modern English Language interconnections with the evolving industry trends and educatio
