Teaching English as foreign Language

There is a huge demand in the non-English speaking countries to learn
English. The demand comes from individuals and corporate organizations
who are interested in training their employees to speak and understand
English for commercial reasons

Learning English Online is a preferred process for its convenience of
anytime learning.

Teaching English online requires many of the same skills and
techniques instructors use in traditional classes, but there are some
differences. In an online course, students access the course materials
over the Web at any time of day or night. The main course is
supplemented with teaching material which the student can access
online e.g. eBook, digital notes, digital presentations etc.

Most importantly, students in an online course depend on conferencing
software, email, and other asynchronous modes of communication for the
interaction they have with each other and with the instructor. This
interaction is the core of the course. In an online course, students
cannot simply raise their hand to ask a question as they would in a
personal session. Email and conferencing software more than make up
for this, since having to type out a question forces more reflection
before posting it. In addition, thanks to the flexibility of the Web,
students will never miss vital class discussions. They can log on and
access class materials and discussions at virtually any time of day.
Finally, the potential for collaborative work and small-group
discussions among students who may never meet face-to-face is what
makes Web-based courses so exciting and so powerful an educational
format.


How does this all come together in practice? Here is a systematic
example of what happens.

1. Students enroll in your online course(s) via your web
registration procedures. Generally, registration is often in groups so
the students can also interact amongst themselves to improve their
English but group registrations are not necessary.

2. Students receive their usernames and passwords allowing them
access to the course materials.

3. Each week, for the duration of the course, the instructor
assigns units and materials from the course Web site, readings from
the textbook and other print materials, writing assignments, group
projects, and other activities. Students work on their own time, going
over the online course material from any personal computer with Web
access, wherever, whenever. They submit completed assignments via
email.

4 The Instructor accesses the assignments and corrects the student
where necessary. The correction process helps instructor understand
the weak section of the student and strategize methods to improve
students understanding of the subject.

5. Students communicate electronically with each other and the
instructor several times a week. Of course, email, voicemail, fax, and
telephone are also viable means of communication, but the heart of an
asynchronous Web-based course will take place in the online discussion
room. Instructors use many strategies to promote communication online
that help ensure student participation and achieve maximum
effectiveness in online discussions.

6. At appropriate times the instructor tests student retention of the
material. Many Web-based courses have short online Self-Tests for each
unit that students use to evaluate their own progress
7. It is common practice with online English instructors to have open
debates with the student during the course to improve the quality of
spoken English by the student.
