Croatian ESP vocational high school pupils and university students’ habits of using online sources

Abstract

Information literacy as a set of abilities needed to recognize, locate, evaluate and effectively use needed information is extremely important in education, especially in English for Technical Purposes classes due to their specific content and the rapid technological changes connected to it.For this reason, this research has been conducted trying to determine Croatian English for Specific Purposes (ESP) vocational high school pupils and university students' habits of using online sources in ESP classes and the frequency of using online sources in translation.Furthermore, the aim was to get insight into their IL background and expectations about being educated on IL by ESP teachers.The results of the study presented in this paper show that Croatian ESP vocational school pupils and university students have quite high perception of their abilities regarding their IL but their usage of online sources for ESP needs has proven to be low and not specific enough for a meaningful learning.
