Sažetak
In a general aspect of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), English as a foreign language (EFL) is considered stimulating to the English language learners (ELLs) because the TEFL practice in that particular case refers to English language teaching in a country whose official language is other than English. To contribute to a desirable students’ English proficiency level in the scope of a comprehensive education—that is, the one that progressively relies on the digitalization process and technological advancements in multiple sectors—various learning methods are applied, frequently favoring the socalled blended learning as a technology-mediated, or web- enhanced, personalized learning policy. A partially self-directed study at home via e-learning platforms (e.g., the Moodle-based course management systems such as Merlin) was especially promoted at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, having remained fully operational in case of the English in Digital Agriculture course too. English in Digital Agriculture e-textbook thus represents a formal-content learning material, with an emphasis placed on the students’ basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS) in the English language and their cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP). The e-textbook’s multimedia contents semantically and syntactically comply with the C1 and C2 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF), but the exposure to the native speakers’ oral and textual styles and a peer tutoring advocacy and tolerance might effectively and ethically assist in the neutralization of educational inequality, or students’ achievement gaps, facilitating the students’ English-based professional and technical communication in Digital Agriculture.
