| Abstract: |
Technical vocabulary which is largely used by people working or studying in a specialized field is a pivotal component in ESP classes. The main focus for vocabulary learning should not be about "How many words a student should know", but "What words a student should know". This paper presents a practical method for creating a technical vocabulary wordlist and Web-based materials for teaching and learning ESP. The files created use HTML and JavaScript, but readers do
not need to know anything about these languages in order to use the programmes and the files. There are three computer programmes which are explained in this paper. All of them are explained in a practical and simple way that even a teacher with no computer knowledge background will be able to use them. The first programme, RANGE of Paul Nation, is used to create a technical vocabulary wordlist. The second one, HOT POTATOES from Half-Baked Software Inc., is used to create vocabulary quizzes. And, the third one, FrontPage of Microsoft Corporation, is for creating a Web-based technical dictionary. All of the Web-based materials created can be delivered and/or learned at any computer equipped with a browser, e.g. Internet Explorer. |
