Abstract (English): The practice of virtual exchange in which students from different countries participate in an online collaboration as part of their coursework and jointly complete tasks and activities is becoming more dominant in higher education. Virtual exchange seems particularly convenient for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) as it incorporates two major aspects of this area of English language learning: collaboration on a course-specific and fieldspecific task or project and communication in English. The paper presents the results of a survey into students’ views and attitudes towards the inclusion of virtual exchange into ESP university courses. The overall findings point to a rather positive attitude of students towards this innovative pedagogy but at the same time reveal a number of factors that may jeopardize its successful implementation into ESP courses. The paper concludes with a number of pedagogical implications on how to prepare students for successful participation in virtual exchange activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Serbian): Primena virtuelne razmene, u kojoj studenti iz različitih zemalja učestvuju u onlajn saradnji u okviru nekog predmeta i zajednički obavljaju zadatke i aktivnosti, postaje sve dominantnija u visokom obrazovanju. Virtuelna razmena se čini posebno pogodnom za engleski jezik struke (EJS), jer uključuje dva glavna aspekta te oblasti učenja engleskog jezika: saradnju na nekom zadatku ili projektu specifičnom za kurs ili određenu naučnu oblast i komunikaciju na engleskom jeziku. U radu su prikazani rezultati ankete o stavovima studenata u vezi sa uključivanjem virtuelne razmene u univerzitetske kurseve EJS. Opšti pregled rezultata ukazuje na prilično pozitivan stav studenata prema ovoj inovativnoj pedagogiji, ali istovremeno otkriva i niz faktora koji mogu ugroziti njenu uspešnu implementaciju u EJS kurseve. U završnom delu predstavljene su neke pedagoške implikacije o tome kako pripremiti studente za uspešno učešće u aktivnostima virtuelne razmene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
