Conference Paper Description

The paper deals with the smart approach to teaching and learning English for Specific Purposes (ESP). First, the theoretical background is introduced providing the definition of the term “smart” and theories examining motivation to learning. Second, in the research part, results of didactic pretests and posttests are compared reflecting learners’ types of motivation defined by Plaminek’s Inventory, i.e. Coordinators, Explorers, Accurators, Directors. Totally, 119 probands, prospective teachers from the Faculty of Education and experts from the Faculty of Science, participated in this comparative study conducted via quasi-experimental ex-post-facto method for the period of 12 weeks. The smart approach includes the exploitation of smart devices and technologies (applications) in face to face instruction at school and in home preparation for lessons. The findings discovered that the smart approach as applied within this study suited to maximum extent to Coordinators whose increase in knowledge was significantly higher compared to Explorers, Accurators, or Directors.
