This study focuses on an innovative teaching project entitled Doblaje creativo (Creative Dubbing), which was conducted at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid during the 2019-2020 academic year. Its main goal was to explore the use of creative dubbing as an innovative tool for improving oral production skills in the business English classroom, as well as for other language skills. To this end, twenty students from the Degree in Commerce practised their speaking skills (a measured and dependent variable) in business English through creative dubbing activities (a manipulated and independent variable) – a recent application of didactic audiovisual translation (AVT). Several lecturers from public universities took part in this project, which employed a mixed methods study involving an experimental group (N=20) and a control group (N=20). Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. The former involved student tasks designed to assess three video-recorded presentations carried out by both groups, serving as pre- and post-language tests. The latter involved questionnaires filled in by the students. The results obtained indicate that creative dubbing is indeed a tool that can enhance students ’ oral skills, motivating them regarding the use of a non-traditional educational methodology, which can be applied in any other English for specific purposes (ESP) context.

Tourism discourse is highly persuasive. To succeed in their future careers, university students majoring in Tourism Studies should therefore be able to write persuasively in English. This study investigated the effect of glogging on developing EFL persuasive writing in such learners. Participants (N = 16) were second-year students in the Tourism Studies Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, University of Sadat City, during the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. An EFL persuasive writing test was developed and administered before and after experimentation, which lasted for 9 weeks. During this time, students used glogging collaboratively to create online interactive posters via the web-based tool Glogster EDU. They wrote tourist advertisements and persuasive essays. The results revealed that the study group achieved significant improvement in EFL persuasive writing. Using Glogster EDU was fundamental in helping students to organize, synthesize, revise, edit, and enrich their work with appropriate visuals, persuasive vocabulary, and grammatically correct and appealing phrases or sentences until they published their final drafts. Thus, glogging had a positive effect on developing Tourism Studies students’ EFL persuasive writing.

English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP) programmes are highly valued in higher education as they provide students with knowledge and understanding of the cultures, literacies, discourse and practices of their academic communities. This article examines an ESAP, pre-sessional programme for Masters students developed by the Language Centre at The University of Leeds, UK. Its aim was to deliver nine discipline-specific courses in collaboration with subject specialists from the wider University. The article investigates the principles underlying the programme with reference to official documentation and data from semistructured interviews with course designers. It shows that a principled approach to programme design facilitated the development of coherent ESAP courses, despite the many constraints that influenced the design process. A set of principles is proposed which reflect the aims and ethos of an ESAP approach to programme design. It is argued that specificity in EAP programme design is both desirable and
