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

Abstract

This report is based on the experience that I gathered during my internship project conducting an online class focusing on self-evaluation of my teaching. For that purpose I used Google Meet to complete my project. I had high expectations for bringing out the best from the students and always tried to motivate the students to speak. There was a mixture of different performing levels of students. I tried to establish a good teacher-student relationship. I always tried to maintain professionalism and a good relationship with colleagues. I used the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method for teaching. I always tried to make progress by using different methods depending on the context. I prepared myself in several ways depending on the elements: teaching materials, teaching style, class observation, assessment and feedback. Though it was an online class, the purpose of this report is to know how teachers organize instructions, how teachers manage students in the classroom, which materials are used in language teaching by the teachers, how they interact with students, and also to know how to enhance their language teaching. This paper includes various problems and obstacles that I had during my internship and how I overcame those ensuring a good and safe learning environment. This report concludes with some recommendations based on the findings and the checklists from the observation to make the learning process more effective.
