Tips for teaching an unforgettable online English class
01____Have you suddenly found yourself teaching online? You’re certainly not alone, and it can
02 be hard to know where to start. The first step is to decide on a platform to deliver your classes,
03 like Google Classroom, which is a free online learning management service for schools. It
04 facilitates collaboration, file sharing and grading – and works well with all other Google
05 platforms. In addition, there’s Zoom, a video conferencing and teaching platform which has
06 exploded in popularity recently. You’ll need to administer your course, create materials,
07 broadcast your class, interact with your students and grade their work, so you’ll need a
08 computer or a professional tablet. Your students will also need a computer if they want to fully
09 participate in your classes, but smartphones or tablets can be used when there’s no alternative.
10 It’s important to dedicate a portion of your first class to helping students get to grips with the
11 technology. Where possible, set aside a dedicated area in your home or office to teach from,
12 and make sure you have all the visual aids and materials you need to hand. Additionally, ensure
13 that nothing you don’t want your students to see is in view of the camera.
14____It can be difficult for students to adjust. Bring them into your lessons by starting all your
15 classes with learning objectives, and at the end of the class, you can reflect on what you’ve
16 done. Routine will help your students feel they’re in a safe learning environment. Also, make
17 sure you mix study with energizing games or mini-breaks and have students share their ideas.
18 Always confirm their understanding of the instructions. Classroom management might be easier
19 online, however, students can talk to each other via chat box and get distracted with irrelevant
20 online content. It’s a good idea to have students mute their microphones while you are
21 delivering input and have them close all other windows on their computers. But be sure to let
22 your students know why you are doing this, so they don’t feel like they are being forcibly
23 silenced. They can ask you questions in the chat box.
24____It’s harder to engage online, so you can exaggerate your expressions and tone of voice
25 slightly so they stay alert and interested (just don’t overdo it). Mix up your activities to keep
26 things interesting, and remember that just because you’re online, it doesn’t mean students
27 can’t collaborate. Many platforms allow you to put students in pairs or groups to work together
28 in designated chat rooms. As a teacher, you can drop in and out of these rooms to monitor. In
29 order to track your students’ progress – both during class and throughout their course, you
30 might have students present their own ideas to the class using their webcams, and offer them
31 progress tests through online forms and writing assignments. You could also test students using
32 fun quiz software like Kahoot, or more formal online progress tests with Typeform’s test maker.
