| Description | The paper deals with the principles of Dogme approach in lessons of English for Specific Purposes at tertiary level. The author argues that this materials-light approach is particularly suitable at this level as university students are aware of their needs in foreign language learning and employ their (future) professional identities and so-called possible selves in the learning process. The author discusses the impact of Dogme elements on the students’ engagement and autonomy. Examples from syllabus design and material design from an ESP course for sports coaches are presented and the role of the teacher with regard to the shift in power in Dogme lessons is considered. |
