Piloting Small-Group Online English Tutoring with Interactive Pedagogy
The aim of this paper is to describe piloting small-group online English tutoring service for children from low socio-economic families in Taiwan and to present the preliminary results from the joint operations with community service organizations for integrating online English classes into the on-going after-school programs.This small-group online tutoring service consists of real-time meeting technology,multimedia content and course design,interactive pedagogy for small-group teaching,and asynchronous game-based coursework for individual practice and assessment.As consistently observed,over 90%of the students love to learn through playing online word games with team competition and collaboration and we found that the choice of technology plays such an important role that pedagogical approach should be reviewed and modified upon the selection of technology as far as online interactivity is concerned.
