Abstract

This study examines the planning and implementation of an Intensive English Bridging Module (IEBM) for first-semester accounting students. The objective was to assist them in transitioning from General English (GE) to English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The program employs the Canvas LMS to integrate green accounting material with self-directed learning principles, adhering to the ADDIE instructional design methodology. The program was founded on a needs analysis and a research and development process with 92 accounting students. Following the implementation of the program, data from pre- and post-language assessments, LMS analytics, and student surveys indicated that 78% of students improved by at least 20% on certain ESP tasks, while over 90% concurred that the accounting-centric materials and structure promoting autonomy were pertinent. The results indicate that a meticulously designed, technology-driven bridging curriculum can prepare vocational accounting students for specialized English usage. This study discusses the impacts and potential methods for integrating autonomous learning methodologies with Canvas-based delivery in English for Specific Purposes programs. The findings provide a digital ESP paradigm that may be repeatedly utilized to facilitate independent student learning. It also offers a pedagogical framework applicable to various trade programs requiring integration.
