Title of the Activity: U1 | Challenges in Teaching | Pair task

1. What are the challenges of English online teaching in the Philippines?

As shown in the paper, the challenges of English online teaching in the Philippines are as
follows:

● Teachers are always in trouble with their internet connection.


● Teachers lack time for their profession, so it affects the preparations of their lessons.
● Teachers find it difficult to deal with different behavioral displays of the students.
● Teachers do struggle with correcting the grammar of their students, including the way
they pronounce, enunciate, and articulate.
● Teachers handle students who have so much difficulty in comprehension and are less
interactive to express confusion.
● Teachers experience sudden electricity cut.
● Teachers miss to be knowledgeable with navigating some technicalities.

2. What research questions or problems does the study seek to address?

The exploratory study aims to showcase the challenges of Teaching English online in the
Philippines in an office-based setting. It sought to answer the following research questions:

● What are the dominating challenges that negatively affect teachers' English online
teaching performance?
1.1 challenges in teaching students
1.2 challenges in the technical aspect
1.3 challenges in handling classes
1.4 challenges in the motivational aspect

● What are the remediation and intervention to be done in neutralizing the challenges that
online English teachers experience?
3. What variables did the researchers analyze or investigate?

● Dependent Variable: The overall performance of online English teachers in the


Philippines and across the globe
● Independent Variable: The variety of challenges that online English teachers in the
Philippines faced

4. What research design and methodology was used in the study?

● The study employed exploratory methods, a research method that relies on techniques
such as secondary research - such as reviewing available literature and/or data formal
qualitative research through in-depth interviews, focus groups, projective methods, case
studies or pilot studies. The qualitative data were gathered through a Google Survey
Questionnaire. The study’s qualitative components include the responses of teachers as
regards the issues and challenges they have encountered in teaching English online.

5. What linguistic/language teaching theories, models, or frameworks ground the study?

● This study is grounded by Cooper’s Framework, however there are no theories or


models that were explicitly presented. The Cooper’s Framework was cited from the
literature review of Kebritchi, Lipschuetz, and Santiague, entitled “Issues and Challenges
for Teaching Successful Online Courses in Higher Education”. Issues related to online
learners, instructors, and content development were the three major issues in online
education.

6. How did the researchers gather their data?

● This study assessed the respondents' challenges using the qualitative method. The
intended respondents were reached through a Google Survey questionnaire. The data
acquired from the survey questionnaire's results was then examined and interpreted by
the researchers. The information will be used as a tool to identify possible solutions and
measures to reduce the difficulties encountered by online English teachers.
7. Based on the findings, what implications does this study have for your own context as
a language teacher? What future studies could be looked into?

● The study highlights important issues that could be relevant to our experience as a
future language teacher. One major takeaway is the technological constraints that many
teachers and students encounter. If you work in an environment where access to
dependable technology or the internet is unpredictable, Cuenca's findings highlight the
necessity of using alternative teaching strategies, like blended learning models or offline
resources, in order to sustain effective language instruction. Furthermore, the study's
focus on teacher preparation emphasizes how important it is to continue professional
growth within your setting. You will need to stay current with virtual learning platforms
and online teaching tools if you want to succeed in teaching. Another common problem
is that of student participation, especially in an online environment. This study may
inspire us as a language instructor to use interactive techniques to keep students
engaged and motivated, like gamification, group projects, and personalized feedback.
Lastly, the study might encourage you to look into more language-specific tools and
resources to improve online learning for students.This study should be extended upon in
the future by examining the efficacy of hybrid teaching models, which combine in-person
education with online learning, especially in areas where technology is limited. A study of
this kind might look at how hybrid methods can meet the difficulties of online learning
while retaining student interest and guaranteeing high-quality language training. The
influence of socioeconomic characteristics on students' experiences with online
language learning could be the subject of additional research. This kind of research
could examine differences in resource availability and the effects these have on
language learning, pointing out possible areas for intervention to support more equitable
schooling. Future research endeavors may also explore the mental health difficulties and
potential hazards of burnout encountered by language instructors who are shifting to or
are employed primarily in an online setting. Exploring ways in which schools and
educational institutions can support teachers in maintaining their well-being and
preventing burnout would be a valuable contribution to the field of online education.
