Perception of the animated movies n teaching and learning English for Specific Purposes (based on the ESP course for the biotechnology students)

Abstract

The teachers of National University of Food Technologies, upon delivering the course “English for Specific Purposes” to the first-year students majoring in biotechnology, affirm the artistic education as the important factor of forming professional skills and abilities, which is evident in using the animated movies as much frequently. Primarily, these movies are retrieved from the Internet and then spoken in class; furthermore, the students get eager to make such cartoons on their own. Hence the purpose of this work is to confirm the esthetic and educational role of animated movies applied to teaching and learning the basics of foreign language for biotechnologists; to achieve this purpose, the didactic, perceptive esthetics, scientific modeling, and communication methods were used.
