Paper Abstract:
|
Flexible learning in this pandemic combines a specific percentage of synchronous and asynchronous sessions. In this
research, the adoption of Zoom as a discussion platform tool in teaching communicative English skills to tertiary education
students in a public HEI is discussed; based on the Leapfrog Principle. The study investigated the effectiveness of Zoom
as a language teaching tool in Language courses. It also examined the platform's role in new learning spaces with
today's learners. Data for the study was collected via online class observation, followed by a recorded interview conducted
among fifty-five students. The analysis of the data was done qualitatively. The findings of the study indicated that Zoom is
perceived as an effective teaching tool; in terms of both delivery and pedagogy in Intensive English programs. It was also
believed to cater to a flexible and motivating language learning environment for the current flexible learning academic
scenarios. The integration of zoom application into the intensive Language courses for tertiary level learners, enriched the
teaching-learning experiences. |
