Abstract

Teaching English course for specific (ESP) purposes is not only about the skills in reading or speaking, the task requires teachers to deliver heavily on knowledge and practical skills in the discipline. With tradition language teaching methods, the results in ESP courses cannot be fulfill, therefore, a new teaching approach need to be developed. Integrating information literacy into university curricula to improve students’ performance have been proved to be the one of the best solutions. However, there is no study about the effects of integrating information literacy into an ESP course. This paper therefore fills this research gap, as it investigates the empirical results and recommendations for practice. This study was conducted using mixed method approach, including questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The data was collected from 103 students participating in an experimental course integrating information literacy. The findings show that leaners have a great satisfaction about this new method after the course. The options of developing information literacy support for EFL learners were also discussed.
