“…In Vietnam, teachers who had to transition to online teaching faced significant challenges ( Quy Hien, 2020 ). Before the pandemic, many Vietnamese teachers were found to lack adequate knowledge and experience in applying technology to the design of courses in order to create collaborative learning, construct knowledge and facilitate interaction in the online classroom ( Diep et al, 2019 ). In addition, they employed lecturing as a main technique in classroom teaching due to the strong influence of Confucianism ( Trinh & Mai, 2019 ).…”

This study investigated how teachers adjusted their teaching practices for online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. In the study, we collected data from ten teachers within the Department of English at a university in Vietnam through semi-structured interviews via Zoom. During the interviews, the participants shared how they organised their teaching activities and addressed challenges in engaging students. To analyse the data, we focused on the variety of interaction patterns (teacher-student, student-student and student-content) in online teaching. The results showed that most of the teachers deployed activities for two main types of interaction: teacher-student, and student-content, but not for student-student interaction. Teachers also reported that they received limited online teacher training and had to learn by themselves how to engage students remotely. While the university tried to support teachers, no consistent online teaching guidelines were provided. The study suggests that higher education institutions should offer training opportunities and provide teachers with clear guidelines for online teaching.

“…Working in groups is potentially more relaxing than working in pair. Group work coordination is also good for weak students that they can work together with the stronger members of the group (Diep et al, 2019). Discussion, on the other hands, can help to develop the communicative ability of the student, as it provides…”

This corrigendum article focuses on enhancing the communicative competence of ESP learners using a wide range of tasks or activities. The target audience for this article is students enrolled in the Business Administration program at the State Polytechnic of Ujung Pandang. By carefully designing activities based on each student’s level and the standards they must meet, we facilitated them to connect with their classmates in the classroom and improve their speaking ability. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that students can improve their speaking skills by actively participating in the communicative activities that take place in the classroom. It was found that students were engaged in the activities and using the language when interacting with others in discussion sessions, group projects, and role-playing activities.

“…18 Individual dissatisfaction in taking part in live streaming compared with an in-person nursing continuing education conference may have roots in participants' feelings of a lack of engagement in the electronic content delivery. 19 In addition, difficulties with use of technology for nursing professionals are well-cited in the literature, 20 including perceived or actual exclusion of nurses unfamiliar with navigating technology or increased time spent trouble-shooting problems such as slow Internet connection or program malfunctioning. Although benefits have been reported to use of electronic platforms for the delivery of healthcare education, the need for in-person social connection has been reported as a gap, 21 which also emerged in our findings.…”

The aim of this study was to understand registered nurses' (RNs') perceptions of attending a live streaming versus in-person continuing education event. BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 global pandemic, in-person continuing education events for healthcare providers required conversion to digital platforms. Literature is sparse regarding healthcare providers' perceptions on attending a live streaming continuing education event. METHODS: Registered nurses completed a survey after a live streaming research conference from a large US healthcare system. Likert-scale survey items were analyzed using descriptive statistics and open-ended questions with content analysis and thematic coding. RESULTS: A total of 219 RNs participated. The RNs reported an overall positive experience with the live streaming event and indicated a preference for this platform for the future. Three benefits emerged: savings, self-care and safety, and user-friendly. Perceived drawbacks were coded with 3 themes: technical issues, impaired focus, and social/networking challenges. CONCLUSIONS: Despite challenges, live streaming conferences may be satisfying and preferable for nurses.
