ABSTRACT

In recent years, there has been a shift in course design to a more integrated multi-dimensional model in higher education. Such a shift is to argue that learning should be multi-dimensional and that course design should be relatively connected with multiple theories of learning. For a better understanding of such an integrated multi-dimensional course design, the present study employed a case study method to explore one ESP course design, which was underpinned by a multi-dimensional model. The results of the case study are illuminative, showing that the integrated multi-dimensional ESP course design is the potential to enhance students' motivation and self-regulated learning. Consequently, we conclude that the current case study has shed light on integrated multi-dimensional ESP course design for further development at tertiary education.
