Online teaching is giving language students the opportunity to practice outside of the classroom, it is a very important challenge, programs were developed so that students can also study on their own, they developed platforms to interact and that technology can be used as a complement to face-to-face classes, New online classes were integrated such as TOEFL preparation, they have been able to adapt all the material online, and this allows people who are in Canada, United States, Mexico, South America, anywhere, to participate in this course, they are also creating pronunciation courses. The challenge with an online class is to emulate the teacher sitting next to the student, creating an experience that is almost face to face.
The online experience is sought to be almost as accurate as a face-to-face class with students and teachers, online courses were established that previously did not exist and projects and classes are created for all types of people interested in learning a language with the support of technology and teachers, also creating some free courses and with the possibility of learning and practicing from anywhere through a computer or a cell phone, simulating the face-to-face class.
There is concern about the exams since the grades have increased, but you can not monitor the use of grades to take exams, the attendance policy in some courses is strict, you must be visible in the course and so you can count the participation and attendance to not lose the level and to pass it without repeating it. You can do more personal evaluations to avoid cheating and ask questions during the class to make it more interactive and to know that you are really present and paying attention. Homework is an important part of the class and can be reviewed in class to detect errors and doubts.
Some adaptations can be to prioritize learning objectives with subsequent learning, promote the development of skills for self-management and autonomous learning with personal learning goals and pathways, and propose varied and not excessive activities to motivate and encourage active participation.
