Since classes have been forced online due to the coronavirus pandemic, ELS has extended its use of the platform to facilitate interactive live classes through embedded Zoom links. Core text activities are also available through the SunagoLearn platform through a plugin for MyELT – National Geographic Learning’s web-based learning management system. This system offers teacher-led assigned activities as well as self-study options. Classes with a maximum of 12 students allow ELS to provide effective and tailored support, including through a ‘Customised Learning Support’ live class in which various areas of need are addressed utilising the Zoom breakout room function. Students scored the Centre highly in relation to teacher presence and support in the NEAS Online Health Check.”

English Language Teaching is a vital component of the educational infrastructure of not just institutions that deliver education to international students in Australia, but industry and government as well. And being forced to take English Language Teaching out of classrooms and move online presents great challenges for us all.
