“…One of the tools can be used in language teaching is the tool that can be used by using internet. As globalization is bringing people closer to each other via a number of Information and Communication Technologies, webinars have become an indispensable tool in ensuring online educational environment in higher education for closer inter-connections between students, educators, researchers and other participants of higher education Ahrens et al (2016).…”

Low competence in speaking for the students of Non-native English speakers has been crucial challenge so far for the teachers in language teaching in Indonesia. This study attempts to explore the effect of webinar applied in teaching speaking on Students of Non-native English Speakers at one of Business schools in Surabaya. There are three classes observed in this study. Before the webinar was applied, the groups were given test to check their proficiency. After conducting the webinar class, the post-test was given to the groups. The instruments to get the data was the oral test. The results reveal that there is an improvement on post test score in the two out of three classes observed. In contrary, the last class has no improvement on their post test score. Moreover, barriers found during the implementation of webinar in speaking class will be explored. HIGHLIGHTS: There is an improvement on the speaking score with webinar using on the two from three classes observed. Practically, the findings of this study are likely able to give positive contribution and technology using experience to all English teachers as well as the students.

“…The empirical study was aimed at comparing students' views on digital higher education in light of COVID-19. It is worth pointing that individual's view is defined as his/her knowledge, skills and attitudes to a phenomenon (Ahrens, Zaščerinska, Hariharan, & Andreeva, 2016). The knowledge, skills and attitude are interrelated (Ahrens & Zaščerinska, 2015a).…”

Higher education sector has been significantly adapting to the new situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite students are often referred to, students are rarely at the centre of the concerns being raised. The research aim is to compare students’ views on digital higher education in light of COVID-19 underpinning the identification of issues in digital higher education in light of COVID-19. The research implies theoretical and empirical methods. The exploratory empirical study was carried out. Semi-structured interviews serves as the data collection method. Content analysis was applied to the obtained data for data processing. The theoretical analysis allows finding that digital environment in higher education is not limited by only a technical aspect of its organisation. Digital environment also implies students’ health, financial and economic situation, etc. The empirical findings contribute to the conclusion that digital higher education in light of COVID-19 is negatively evaluated by students. The most common issues faced by students are identified. The research question is newly formulated. Directions of further research are proposed. The novelty of the paper is presented by the identified issues in digital higher education in light of COVID-19.

The importance of engineering education in promoting engineering students’ entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours now is widely recognised. The aim of the research is to explore international engineering Master students’ views on digital entrepreneurship in a host European country underpinning the elaboration of implications for engineering education in a host country. The research methods imply the use of both - theoretical and empirical - methods. Theoretical methods included analysis of scientific literature, theoretical modelling, systematisation, synthesis, comparison, generalisation. The empirical study was carried out in Germany in February 2021. 32 engineering Master students took part in the online survey. The online survey was based on the online questionnaire. The obtained data were described with the use of percentage, standard deviation and weighted average. The data description was followed by data interpretation and summarization. The use of the theoretical methods allows identifying that digital entrepreneurship is a supplement to traditional settings entrepreneurship proceeds in. The theoretical research resulted in the conceptual framework built of engineering student’s intention to become a digital entrepreneur, the use of the host country language, the use of engineering knowledge in digital entrepreneurship. The results of the empirical study allow finding out that the engineering Master students’ view digital entrepreneurship in a positive way. The survey results show that the engineering students focus their digital entrepreneurship on their professional field, namely engineering. The survey also outlined two major factors, namely host country language and host country rules, that limit the opportunities of becoming a digital entrepreneur in a host country. The implications for engineering education, that international engineering Master students receive in a host country, imply the integration of entrepreneurial culture, namely host country language and host country rules, into engineering education in a host country. The emphasis of the host country language and host country rules should be placed on their use for entrepreneurial purposes. By the entrepreneurial purposes, specific activities that are tied to entrepreneurship are meant. Training of host country language and host country rules within engineering education should be centred on their use for entrepreneurship.
