Building Blocks of Online Success: Unleashing the Potential of Beginner Adult Learners Online

Abstract

In this plenary talk, I will demonstrate how teachers can set up meaningful patterns of interaction, varied feedback moments, and amplify students' spoken production. By sharing tools, strategies, and theories behind feedback, task design, and lesson planning in online classes, teachers are expected to leave this talk better equipped to boost beginner learners' performance.
