Synchronous and Asynchronous Digital Tools for Real Life Support and Skills- Lessons Learnt from Covid 19

Abstract

The current pandemic has surprised language educators. Globally, educators have been forced to implement online platforms and remote pedagogies.  Online or virtual situations are challenging for students and teachers. Distance learning has become the norm. They must deal with a situation for which they never had any formal training or orientation. Although language learners have weathered this new crisis well, language instructors remain challenged with remote teaching's complexities. In this research proposal, the researcher examines how language educators have adapted to remote learning and discusses how they have implemented synchronous and asynchronous digital tools like OneNote in their language classrooms.
