Teach Online: Language Teaching Methods

This course presents methods, techniques and principles in online language teaching. In this course, I present the methods and their use in the context of distance teaching of English language, especially the online form. This course encompasses previous definitions of distance teaching, its stages of development, as well as explained theories of online and offline education. I endeavor to discuss „traditional“ methods, which can be successfully applied to online English language education, which rapidly grows and keeps up pace with technological developments, and is organized and exists globally through numerous platforms. By presenting these methods of teaching, I try to make things easier for future teachers in their choice of the most suitable one. Furthermore, I encompass advantages and limitations of methods in our analysis of online teaching. Practical implications of this course is application of online teaching, in syllabus and planning of individual teaching units, whether it is a preparatory class, or any other institutional program dedicated to the language teaching.
