It was for an extended period that our students were in an online learning mode. Despite the challenges, they managed to complete their lessons, submit their work, and achieve their learning outcomes. A big ‘thank you’ to parents who collected materials from school on numerous occasions, and who were there to assist and guide the children during learning activities. The students adapted to online language classes very well. It developed their independence. Technology enabled them to join lessons, and to complete and send their work to us each week for evaluation. We were then able to provide the necessary feedback. However, in saying that, it was with great relief and much joy that we welcomed our classes back to school for face to face interaction.
オンライン学習を振り返って
長期に亘ったオンライン学習が終了しました。いくつかのチャレンジがありましたが、子どもたちは、授業を受け、課題を提出し、無事に学習成果を達成しました。
保護者の皆様。何度も教材を受け取りに学校まで来てくださり、またオンライン学習中は子たちをサポートしてくださり、本当にありがとうございました。
子どもたちは、オンラインでの英語学習に非常に上手に適応しました。それぞれが自立して学習することを学びました。テクノロジーのおかげで、子どもたちは、授業に参加し、課題を完了し、それらをスムーズに提出することができました。教師は、提出された課題をチェックし、タイムリーにフィードバックを子どもたちに送ることができました。
しかし、学校が再開し、子どもたちがクラスに戻ってきて、対面の授業を行えることは、私たち教師にとっても、安堵であり、大きな喜びでした。
The students have reflected on their remote learning. Here is a sample of their comments.
