Recent Practice of English Teaching: Before and During Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Almost all elements of education were affected by the epidemics of covid-19, which resulted in significant educational disruption. Teachers and students have experienced a variety of changes that have led them to reconstruct the most recent educational paradigm, which is indeed appealing to discuss academically. This research attempted to conceptually describe the trend in English teaching practice prior to and after the Covid-19 epidemic. According to the evidence, the most frequently noticed difficulty created by the pandemic is the change from direct learning to online learning, which occurs almost immediately. The use of learning management systems (LMS) and social media is being used to fill in the gaps created as a result of school closures. Because of the dramatic shift in the pattern of teaching and learning, new difficulties are constantly being introduced into the classroom. The discrepancies involved shifts in teaching practices in terms of learning media, instructional methodologies, and evaluation methods. In order to mitigate these issues, the majority of suggestions are to ensure a dependable network infrastructure; use user-friendly learning applications; adopt appropriate online learning sources; provide supports; provide feedback; combine asynchronous and synchronous communication; conduct the online assessment through online discussion; and provide students with the opportunity to choose the best method of communication.
