Show Notes
By now, you may have tried your hand at teaching English online, or perhaps you’re just thinking about getting started. So what are the key factors to consider when you’re teaching through a screen as opposed to in the physical classroom? In this episode, we look at the important differences between teaching online and teaching in person.
In this Episode
The most obvious difference: the addition of technology, and how this affects your lesson
Tips for handling/ troubleshooting potential tech issues
Class size: how the online environment impacts groups and one on one lessons
Why teaching online may mean you’re more likely to be teaching one on one
Sharing materials online- what to do when you can’t just hand them to the students
Board work and making your lessons visual: planning ahead for how you’ll clarify language and ensure this is clear and accessible for your students through a screen
Methods of giving feedback to tasks in an online platform
The task cycle; just because the lesson is online doesn’t mean students should be doing everything together as a class. Why you’ll want to continue to use microstages such as individual time and pair/ group work
