Original Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the results of a small-scale research conducted among the students of three different faculties of Brno University of Technology, namely Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication (FEEC), Faculty of Information Technology (FIT), and Faculty of Business and Management (FBM). Students were asked to fill in an anonymous questionnaire concerning their attitude to English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) as taught at the university level. The preliminary findings suggest some very interesting trends and tendencies in the ever-changing university settings as well as some differences between the students of the individual faculties.
