Hello Tuli,

This is an important question. I think it also emphasises other complexities inherent within online learning-teaching. For example, we are starting to see some unintended consequences of a rapid pivot to online learning during the pandemic, for particular learners. Students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds have been experiencing a number of challenges relating to access to learning, including access to reliable technologies, access to reliable internet connections, safe and conducive learning spaces at home/away from campus, and, designated/quarantined time to study. All of these potentially impact learning and English learning too. As we consider how best to meet the needs of learners of English online, we need to reflect on what we can be doing to make our provisions for learning inclusive and accessible. This is a challenge as these students are absent, excluded or quietly withdrawing from online learning spaces as the challenges become difficult to navigate. I hope this adds something to your ponderings.

Regards,

Chad

Hello

I tried to learn one language on the internet, it was a course very nice.

Last semester, I taught a language course to the students of economics department. I provided them with digital materials and suggested them to watch some relevant video clips. I gave them worksheets to solve and submit. They also attended online test through google form.

I basically implemented a blended method which incorporated features of both online and offline methods. It was a nice experience for me. As far as I can remember, students were also satisfied with their learning process.

I will utilize contemporary strategies under constructivism just in an online environment. It's up to the educator to source materials in the online environment to assist with teaching e.g. virtual storybooks, word building games etc.

Good question Tulika Mukerjee Saha

Also agree with Safi Ullah Ingrid Del Valle García Carreño Chad Morrison

Methods use can be cooperative teaching strategies- think pair share, group discussion, flash cards

Practise in writing

Chad Morrison I agree. That is why I am looking for methods used to engage the class in language learning especially in the online environment. Adita Maharaj We have been using a few of these methods but I am curious to know the game strategy.

Methods use can be mod-com approach, functional approach, sambhashan for learning and teaching English language at elementary level, when English is teach as a

first and second language both.

Often online learning only relies on the teacher as a learning resource (teacher center), so students tend to be passive, less creative, work on stacks of assignments, and are boring. This approach tends to make students not smart, learning carelessly. Therefore, online learning must arouse an active, creative, and collaborative attitude, and attract students' curiosity to explore various sources of teaching materials. The factual problem-based learning approach can attract students to think about finding solutions, where the teacher only acts as a motivator, facilitator, and student learning companion.

Iskandar Agung This is often the trend as most teachers have hastily switched from offline teaching to online teaching. Online resources are slowly finding their way into classes.

In this 21st century, teaching English should be interactive. Interactive lesson involving animation can help improve students learning quality. Interactive lesson through animation can equally promote better attitudes and value development in online English lessons. Video charts can also be used to present English lessons in online environment. This can be effective if the instructor shares the learning objectives with the students and encourage them to read around the concept in advance.

Sorry, I'm not deep in English learning methods. So can't answer this question.

In my experience as an English teacher in sub urban school during this pandemic, implementing flipped classroom do help me a lot. Online learning is hassle for me and my students due to various issues. Having them to read, watch, listen or having prior knowledge towards certain topic, it helps them to engage in the lesson.
