Description

---

Whether you are teaching a speaking course online for the first time or transitioning to a face-to-face course to online, Teaching Speaking Online outlines ways to foster spoken language development in online teaching contexts. Because technical problems, economic resources, and student schedules may curtail opportunities for student participation in live, synchronous online classes, this book focuses primarily on asynchronous modes of teaching and learning. Each section emphasizes practical strategies and resources to promote spoken communication: fluency, accuracy, and context-sensitive usage. It outlines proven strategies and ends with reflection questions to invite readers to adopt the best strategies for their teaching.
