Fostering Engagement in the EAP Online Landscape
Student engagement in online tasks has been one of the most significant challenges during the shift to online learning. Strategizing within a socio-constructivist approach, we share experiences from a Hong Kong university English language centre. Using interview data, we will report EAP teachers' views on strategies and approaches for encouraging student engagement in the online teaching mode. Finally, we offer recommendations based on our evolving practice within this changing landscape of EAP provision.
