FACE-TO-FACE Vs ONLINE LEARNING: FACTORS INFLUENCING SUCCESS Despo Ktoridou, Androulla Papakyriakou
University of Nicosia, Cyprus Frederick University, Cyprus It is widely
acknowledged that ICT - information communication technologies - can
enhance online teaching and learning processes. In the context of
language learning, the effectiveness of ICT utilisation for the
development of online courses has gained many opponents. They
question whether students in online sections can reach the same
learning outcomes as their peers in respective face-to- face
sections. The current work is a theoretical framework that
investigates the factors that should be taken into consideration in
order for the online students of language courses to reach the same
learning outcomes like students in the respective face-to-face
sections. More specifically, the current research work is divided
into two phases. Phase I presents an in-depth literature review on
pedagogies of delivering courses in face-to-face vs. online mode of
delivery and identifies the obstacles in the effective use of online
language learning. Phase II is still in process. The authors intend
to strengthen the current research through qualitative data with the
involvement of students and lecturers. |
