PACTISS-ICT’: A New Global Teaching Model Of English For Specific Purposes (ESP)

Abstract

The teaching model called 'PACTISS-ICT' is an acronym of “Paired, active and communicative teaching integrating six skills”. It is the new model of teaching English for specific purposes (ESP); it is designed to go directly to the objectives of language learning in general, and in particular, a learning of foreign or second language. This teaching model is an innovation in this period of globalization where new information and communication technology is obligatory for all researchers. For this reason, ICT must already support the teaching and learning of English for learners, not only from the DRC but from the entire planet where English is developed as a second language and/or foreign language.

The PACTISS-ICT teaching model includes two areas of student research, namely (a) the student's discipline and (b) English relating to that area, i.e. English adapted to the student's area of research. However, instead of going there as the old high school English course program proposed it; PACTISS-ICT Model, directly and globally develops all skills in a single lesson at the same time while the learner is exposed to the English language where the teacher actively and technically facilitates teaching thanks to integrated six language skills all of this thanks to computer tools.

This model seems active and simple for all learners who, in a formal or informal teaching, will learn without the slightest effort because they already have one of these tools, among these tools mention should be made of simple telephone or android phones, memory cards, radio cassette, television, video sets which appear to be of great importance for the teaching of the English language as intended by the experts.
