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

Abstract

Online class observation and online class conduction is the aim of this internship project. To find out the way how teachers conduct online classes and how students observe the classes during the Covid-19 pandemic. For the past year and a half, Private Universities and English Medium Schools and Colleges have survived online for a certain period due to Covid-19. Conducting the research, I have observed two online classes of the University level in a reputed Private University through Google meet and I have also conducted one class in that university for this research project. Teachers conduct classes through Google Meet or Google Zoom. Teachers give students a code through that class’s messenger group, so that they can join the same classroom. Teachers give the students worksheets, PowerPoint slides, Docx files, exercises and videos related to their lesson. During the research, I have found some limitations of online classes such as concentration breaks, network issues, communication gaps etc. but the teachers tried their best to provide the online teaching service to the students to improve their particular skills. I have given some recommendations and findings based on observations and conducting online class research.
