Abstract
This article aims to underline interest in the changing perspective of education in its worldwide aspect of teaching and learning. Traditional vs. modern education in teaching technologies applied in the classroom and online-teaching manifests differences. Our interest is focused to English as a foreign/second language- teaching globally.
The modern version of education classified as education for the digital world, where inter-nationalism is strongly supported, is related to multi-culturalism among some authors. Language Learning (LL), as well as Foreign Language Learning (FLL), is a part of modern education with the stress on teaching a language to get skills of manipulating the language for job opportunities in the 3rd Millennium’s digitalized world.
The New Age differentiates teacher preparation as a problem according to new standards in teaching. Foreign language teachers are less ready to implement new requirements in classroom teaching than students who have become accustomed to the digital world because they were born into it. Students are used to applying digital knowledge in learning a foreign language. Therefore, teacher training in digital
thinking through computer-based skills and abilities must evolve.
To conclude, we wish to straighten ideas to the holistic approach to teaching that will empower students to grow their professional, social, and emotional personalities implemented in the new world attitudes. In this paper, we will raise issues of methods and the choice of teaching materials, the approach to teaching EFL, and the importance of the curriculum corresponding to student learning needs. In this respect, the validity of the doctoral theses defended at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, the Department of English,
2015 – 2018, is a matter of analysis by applying qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
