Technological pedagogical and content knowledge of ESP teachers in blended learning format

Abstract

The onslaught of technology in language learning necessitates ESP teachers to enhance their teaching quality by integrating technology, pedagogy, and subject matters. To this end, the present research was an effort to discern Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) of ESP teachers in a blended learning format. A modified online survey comprising 28 closed-ended questions were administered to 70 ESP instructors of nursing purposes from 35 Universities in Indonesia. The data were analyzed statistically to be depicted in descriptive statistics (percentages of frequencies, means, and standard deviations). As a result, three out of four TPACK subdomains, including technological content knowledge (TCK), and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) have been mastered by most ESP teachers. However, they have to improve their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). The current research also contributes some empirical insights into how ESP teachers can construct the overarching ESP instruction in English for nursing purposes integrating TPACK.
