"Read-To-Write-Tasks" in English for Specific Purposes Classes/Skaitymo Ir Rasymo Igudziu Ugdymas Anglu Kalbos Pratybose (Report)

Introduction The proficiency in different language skills is essential to university students, who have to cover the enormous amount of reading materials and write numerous assignments. In the course of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), students face demanding tasks of learning subject-matter through English. The challenge of ESP is unfamiliar lexis and subjectmatter concepts. To succeed, students need to develop proficiency in reading and writing. The access to high-tech allows learners to perform reading and writing online and keep improving their performance by editing their own work. Reading and writing are interrelated skills not only in general language but also in ESP and should be exercised together. The novelty of this study is an application of Information and Commnication Technology to the online reading of ESP materials at student's own pace and at the convenient time followed by downloading written work in personal websites, i.e. weblogs, which can be viewed and read by any Internet user.
