INTERACTIVE METHODS IN ONLINE ENGLISH TEACHING
Abstract
Online English teaching has become an essential part of modern education, requiring innovative approaches to keep students engaged and improve learning outcomes. This paper explores various interactive teaching methods used in online English instruction, focusing on their effectiveness in enhancing student participation, motivation, and comprehension. The study highlights the importance of real-time discussions, gamification, collaborative activities, and instant feedback in online classrooms. The findings are based on a survey conducted among students and educators, revealing preferences for specific interactive techniques and the most commonly used online platforms. The results emphasize that integrating interactive elements into online teaching significantly enhances the learning experience.
