Quality System in one ESP (English for Special Purposes) Study Course – Sport English

• Authors: Ieva Rudzinska

Abstracts

EN

Quality systems are usually developed for the whole institution, but in this article we discuss the possibility of applying a quality system to one study course – Sport English. In higher education institutions (HEIs) the quality system usually employs David Easton’s model, consisting of resources, processes and results. The quality system applicable for teaching foreign languages consists of the quality of teaching, quality of delivery, quality of materials, and quality in assessment. Both models are used in constructing a quality system for a Sport English study course, and the first preliminary results are discussed
