LOPERA MEDINA, Sergio Alonso. AN ONLINE ENGLISH TEACHING EXPERIENCE DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.80, pp.203-220.  Epub Dec 09, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n80a13.

This article presents the preliminary results of an Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) experience (Hodges, Moore, Lockee, Trust & Bond, 2020) of a foreign language professor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative methodology, technological and educational obstacles were found, such as participation in videoconferences, the implementation of real tasks, the use of humor and the motivation of students. It is concluded that the lecturer gained confidence and expertise in an interactive environment. Finally, the promotion of interaction and alternative and formative evaluation in class is recommended.

Keywords : emergency remote teaching (ERT); COVID-19; teaching English; online teaching; foreign language.
