Differences between online lessons and classroom teaching

When teaching children online, the biggest challenge that many teachers face is keeping the students focused on the lesson. In a traditional classroom setting, teachers can easily recognize when students are having difficulties concentrating and quickly modify the lesson plan. Teleteaching, however, doesn’t give teachers the same freedom to regain the focus of the students since there is less freedom to move around and use body language. Also, don’t forget that many games used by EFL/ESL teachers in traditional classrooms are impossible to play in an online lesson. Being able to plan lessons that don’t rely on games will make online teaching easier and these free English lesson plans are perfect.
Recommended resources for teaching English online
The best way to keep students focused is with free English lesson plans that have a series of resources such as songs, videos, flashcards, and teleteaching-friendly worksheets. And the more you have, the better!
When teaching online, you must also remember that your students might not have a great internet connection. For that reason, it’s best to use lightweight PDF files rather than JPEG images since JPEG files tend to be much larger and can slow down the lesson tempo. Worksheets that students can complete using a mouse by drawing lines or circling answers will also be ideal for teaching online.
Finally, it’s important to remember that having a consistent routine and format to the lessons will help students stay focused and allow teachers to smoothly carry out online EFL/ESL lessons.
