Abstract

The increase in implementing online learning tools in learning environments has highlighted the importance of their integration into language learning, especially English for academic purposes (EAP). As EAP students are mostly international people in higher education (HE), HE institutions (HEI) have intended to leverage digital technology for better teaching and learning of EAP. Therefore, the present chapter has intended to look at international students' learning in the EAP Toolkit and blogging for EAP, and the improvement of self-directed online learning. Data from qualitative and quantitative research methods indicate that online learning can promote EAP students' learning as long as they are supported in a well-designed online learning environment in which features such as affordances and components of self-directed online learning are considered to embed.
