Abstract

The paper gives a picture about the current state of teaching and learning information security related topics within the ESP course at Russian colleges and universities. The research was completed on an example of colleges of Moscow region and the Russian University of Transport, Moscow. The results of thematic analysis of paper and electronic ESP textbooks are presented and the learning methods used are stated. The findings show that the thematic coverage of the textbooks used at colleges is wider if used sequentially than of the ones created for universities. Moreover, the university textbook created under the guidance of the graduate chair covers a wider range of topics than most of the British textbooks. The research also proves that there is a sound continuity in ESP teaching between colleges and universities. Active learning methods used by the ESP teachers at colleges and universities comprise mostly project work, role plays, preparation for the students’ conferences. The necessity of strong partnership of linguistic and graduate chairs is highlighted.
