Teaching online can be challenging as opposed to traditional teaching.

In this course, we will look at various teaching tools for online learning. We will also explore ways to use them for teaching language systems such as grammar, lexis, pronunciation, and discourse, as well as developing language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

Online teaching demands special classroom management. In this course, we will also look at organising and managing learners online, consider various workspaces for teachers and learners, and ways to provide students with self-study.

After taking this course, you will be better able to use and apply these tools in your online teaching practice.

No matter how long you've been teaching online and which tools you will finally decide to use, this course will help you exploit your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students, and your teaching context.
