“…Students in a lecture, nevertheless, come from different backgrounds and possess a broad range of skills and abilities. A lecturer at university, thus, as [5] point out, could be expected to combine the talents of scholar, writer, producer, and teacher in ways that contribute to student learning. A good lecture always offers a point of view and an avenue of entry into a field of study.…”

“…Therefore, the methods of teaching, as the basic means of imparting knowledge and information to learners, may have to be carefully selected, modified or even revised [5]. Students, as the prime targets of teaching and learning, would have their own share of tasks in extracting information from different sources, inside or outside the educational institution, in addition to the fundamental roles of teacher and library.…”

The current research deals with the perceptions of non-native students at a university college in Oman on the use of the lecture and interactive methods in teaching English. The aim is to find out the method which may assist satisfactorily in improving students’ Eng-lish language competency in terms of skills, developing their cognitive abilities and enhancing their personal growth. This study employs the quantitative approach through conducting and analyzing students’ questionnaires related to the lecture and interactive methods of teaching. The findings of this research indicate that the interactive methods are highly viewed by students while the lecture is lower. However, weak students incline to the lecture method in contrast to average, good and very good students. The implications of the use of both methods could be extended to the social side of education. Students exchange ideas, suggestions and feelings which contribute to strengthening their relationships as colleagues. They would practice expressing their thoughts freely and respecting the viewpoints of oth-ers no matter whether they agree or disagree with them. Consequently, this would have positive impacts on their lifestyle when dealing with their surrounding society and in workplaces in later stages.

“…In my discussions I use Boyer's (1990) definition of scholarship as informed, reflexive and inquiring approaches of: discovery (creating knowledge); integration (knowledge across disciplines); application (engagement beyond HE) and teaching (developing others). Varied interpretations of scholarship and scholarly activities in HE have been discussed including by Marshall and Pennington (2009); Tight (2019); and Weller (2011). Many contemporary debates have centred on dissatisfaction with defining scholarship; the conflation of scholarly competence with market-driven procurement and publishing of research has been commonly disputed.…”

“…In addition, it is essential to promote technology-aided (computer-assisted) learning, where students can also develop technical-based language skills (Irudayasamy, Hankins, & March, 2018;Sharma & Mishra, 2009). This strategy would be effective in engaging English language learners through enhancing their motivation to learn the language, developing their writing, editing, pronunciation, and speaking skills (Fry, Ketteridge, & Marshall, 2008). Such awareness of students' backgrounds, original literary experience, and prevailing challenges and benefits of the ESP programs would enable teachers to more effectively teach the language in English as a Second Language classroom (Nunan, 1999).…”

Over the last several decades, graduate students from engineering courses have faced a challenge of regular rejections in the work market despite their outstanding academic qualifications. In response to this challenge, many universities across the globe have introduced in their curricula the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses tailored to the need of engineering students. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of the ESP course for engineering students introduced at Dhofar University in Oman. The study participants were first- and second-year undergraduates from the Faculty of Engineering. The participants responded to a 26-item survey that addressed the course content and the changes in the students’ English language proficiency. The results demonstrated that taking the ESP course had a positive impact on the course content, participants’ vocabulary and grammar, as well as on their specific English language skills. The limitations of the study include a relatively small sample of participants and the self-reporting bias inherent in the use of a self-report methodology. Therefore, further research using more objective measures to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of ESP courses on English proficiency of engineering students would be needed.
