Abstract

This chapter provides a review of literature critical to remote teaching and online teaching in the context of English language learning. It investigates two areas specifically: (1) designing effective remote English teaching and learning; and (2) digital technologies for English teaching and learning. To explore these two areas, an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study in an Indonesian secondary state school is presented. The findings of this study provide important insights into technology acceptance during remote teaching, particularly in terms of enhancing teachers’ and students’ understanding of how to design remote and online teaching. Looking forward, teachers are now combining synchronous and asynchronous digital technologies into classroom-based design models and working to further increase students’ learning capacity through the use of these tools and environments. More research is needed to look at successful techniques for building these skills and incorporating them into online, at a distance and in-person teaching approaches.
