Online Class Observation and Conduction in English During the Outbreak of Covid-19

Abstract

The aim of my work is to write an internship report which is based on ''Online Class Observation and Conduction in English during the Outbreak of Covid-19''. To fulfil this task, I gave the classes by conduct and observation. As we know Covid-19 is a pandemic disease and it spreads over the whole world without alerting so it is not possible for us to present in the classroom with our physical appearance. As a consequent of this issue our Daffodil International University takes a platform as an alternative way or solution to continue class and communicate with students through taking online classes. To write this report, I had to follow and go with some rules such as taking one class and observing two classes with who are immediate junior students of my own institute with the help of my department teachers. The report is actually about the teaching and learning methodology using online platform and a comparison between physical classes and online classes as well as some advantages and disadvantages of online classes. This is basically reaction and interaction of teachers and students during online classes such as how teachers conduct their classes and provide their lectures and if they talk the whole class in English, how much student have the ability to capture their lecture. sometimes teachers should use transposition for better understanding of students during lots of ice-break and poor internet issues. And that I have experienced conducting an online class and observing two classes. To do this, I followed some methods. Firstly, I made a word file including basic information of the topic and put most essential point giving headlines then I gradually explained the entire topic. Secondly, I made questions and answers session for five or 6 minutes in the middle of class to make sure about the understanding and concentration level of students and how the feel about the lecture. Then I gave them a slot to write down the basic point of the topic in order to connect them with the topic and I give them feed back as well. Finally, being a teacher and student, I learnt how to deal with students when I am like a teacher and how to provide lecture easy and teachable in the class using different type of methodology and procedure. When I observed classes as a student, I have also experienced how teachers teach students and how they make the lecture enjoyable so that students never get bored.
