From my expertise, and the experiences of my colleagues and college students, on-line studying and instructing have gained important recognition on a worldwide scale in recent times. 
Hui & Yunus (2023) recommend that academics may benefit from a revision in curriculum to help modernized on-line instructing approaches that assist foster a motivating, genuine, and satisfying on-line studying surroundings with the purpose of selling a way of scholar autonomy. Implementing correct methods might lead to higher studying.
Sailsman (2020) recommends that academics ought to accommodate and acknowledge:
- distinctive studying ranges
- scholar socio-economic standing
- variety of cultural backgrounds
to advertise an genuine and inclusive on-line studying expertise for each ESL scholar.
Genuine scholar autonomy might outcome from educators offering their college students with alternatives to make their very own selections throughout the curriculum. These selections may very well be within the type of:
- kind of evaluation (portfolio, written check, oral examination)
- kind of undertaking (video presentation, written report, journal entries, oral presentation)
When going through an absence of engagement and motivation on account of low English proficiency ranges and on-line disengagement, the instructor is chargeable for facilitating and guiding scholar dialogue, problem-solving situations, and peer cooperation by growing duties and objectives to be accomplished (Eden et al., 2022; Mazlan et al., 2022).
A extremely efficient technique I like to make use of with my college students is asking many inquiries to elicit dialogue and problem-solving. Some methods embrace:
- When discovering new phrases, I encourage my college students to seek out context clues throughout the sentence or root phrases to find the that means.
- If we’re discussing a brand new matter or state of affairs, I establish comparable situations and ask my college students what they’d do in that occasion or what that state of affairs may imply.
- I attempt to relate content material to real-life situations to assist the coed make connections between the content material.
These methods are used to elicit that means making, important pondering, and engagement in new materials.
I see a lot of potential exists in on-line studying for college students within the subject of second language acquisition. I imagine steps could be taken to assist promote a better sense of scholar satisfaction, class engagement, motivation, self-efficacy, and private company in a category surroundings the place attaining scholar engagement and motivation could pose limitations. I like to recommend that instructor training and curriculum obtain a revision to adapt to the new on-line instructing and studying circumstances, overcome obstacles, and be taught concerning the various wants of scholars whereas offering the very best quality studying surroundings and on-line ESL training.
