The article is dedicated to introduction of MOOCs to ESP courses. The innovative approach to extracurricular online activities is described. Major challenges as well as key perspectives are defined. The results of student survey are discussed. The development of Internet technology and the globalization of education have fostered massive open online courses (MOOCs) for sciences and humanities. Various MOOCs are based on different methodological approaches such as connectionism, active learning, cooperative learning, implying autonomy and intrinsic motivation of students in acquiring the skills and abilities that are important for a career [1]. Control of the acquisition is carried out by means of self-evaluation and peer-review using tests with AutoCheck, nonlinear tests with specific evaluation criteria [2]. This form of training involves a fundamental change in the teaching methodology and promotes paradigm shift in the education system, due to changing access to learning materials, their method of presentation, monitoring and evaluation process [3]. Besides the obvious advantages in terms of professional training, MOOCs can also be considered as an additional tool in teaching ESP. Most of the courses provided in the public domain, are in English, and involve leading specialists of the world's best universities. Participation of students in these courses is not limited to the perceptual component, interactive open structure allows students to participate in forums, discussions, peer-review in the target language.
