Abstract

Based on a survey of 76 ESP teachers from different universities and colleges across China, significant differences exist in three areas of opinion: the importance of the use of Internet and some Web tools for academic use; general knowledge and perception of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs); and the opinion regarding the interest of MOOCs on ESP. The overall opinion of educators is positive. Flexibility is regarded to be the main advantage of MOOCs as well as autonomous learning.
