Abstract

V originále

ICT has become an inseparable part of language teaching; e-learning or blended learning is a must especially in a university environment and mobile learning with its wide range of applications is increasingly popular due to unlimited ways of employing them. This paper is focused exclusively on the use of technology in a face-to-face setting, specifically in an undergraduate course of legal English; however, the findings and suggestions could be further generalized to any university course of English for Specific Purposes. Although the majority of current university students belong to the generation of digital natives, our experience suggests that not all of them may be enthusiastic about using their laptops, tablets or smart phones in the course of the lesson since the answer to the choice “a pen or a keyboard” is not 100% the same. The paper addresses the question of balancing the number of technology activities throughout a 4-semester undergraduate legal English course, the author shares good practice from using Google Docs and Socrative for various tasks reaching specific learning goals.
