Online Class Observation and Conduction in English during the Outbreak of COVID-19

Abstract

This report is a task which is a requirement of my graduation of B.A. (Hon's) in English Program. The project paper titled “Online Class Observation and Conduction in English during the Outbreak of COVID-19" is an attempt to know about the English teaching-learning situation in online platforms of Daffodil International University during the outbreak of COVID-19. Because of COVID-19 outbreak classes were switched to online platforms like Google Meet for continuing the educational institutes’ academic activities. Therefore, the project required that I, an intern, conduct a class online. For fulfilling the task properly I worked hard and tried my best to succeed in it. First of all I pre-planned for my class and made a lesson plan. Then I started to work on it. I used a PowerPoint slide and a short video to teach the junior students. I focused on teaching materials, teaching style, class observation, assessment and feedback. As we worked on online platform, we needed to use these methods to perceive the activities of teachers and students. From these we also knew how teachers manage the class. This report concludes with some recommendations based on the findings. The observation formed from the checklists was also helpful in getting an insight into real classroom interactions. This report helped me to know more about teaching and learning process.
