Is Zoom Communicative? A Student Survey of Online Language Learning

Sun, Nov 14, 12:45-13:45 Asia/Tokyo

Location: Room 22

This mixed-methods research undertook a comparison of students’ attitudes to various aspects of communicative language learning in both classroom and online settings. The findings show that students clearly prefer in-class language learning. They associated communicative language learning with spoken interaction, whereas the need to use ICT in online classes diminished the quality of peer-to-peer interactions and had a corresponding adverse effect on their motivation.
