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

Abstract

The project was assigned to know how English language classes were being taught online. Because of covid-19 all educational institutions are closed in Bangladesh. Daffodil International University gave us the opportunity to complete the project online. Firstly, I observed language classes taught by my peers. While observing classes, I focused on some elements like teaching style, teaching method, and feedback of the class. Actually, with the help of an observation checklist, the main focus of that observation was how English language was taught online in the pandemic situation of coronavirus. As a requirement of this project, I was also given an opportunity to teach a language class. After observing two language classes and teaching one class, I found out some strengths and weaknesses of online English language teaching which have been clearly provided in this paper. Based on the findings, a few recommendations have been offered towards the end of this paper.
