Summary/Abstract: The need to learn online has become a current practice, forcing teaching online to become a stringency rather than an option. The current paper will present a basic model for designing an online course focusing on free tools for Educational Purposes adapted to teaching/learning English for specific purposes (ESP), with presentation of both the synchronous and the asynchronous components. The paper will showcase basic speaking and writing tools and platforms (Google sites and docs, Wikispaces, Blogger, moviemakers and quizzes) that can form the content of the FET-ESP online course and exemplify how teachers who intend to enhance their activity and motivate their students can use them in their activity.
