Students’ Experience of Emergency Remote Teaching
This study details the student experience of livestream lessons and on-demand lessons approaches to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) in the English classes in one faculty of a large private Japanese university. 1212 responses to a mid-semester survey were collected from students. The survey asked students to rate the usefulness of teacher-created videos, Google forms, Flipgrid, online vocabulary programs, and live-streamed lessons. Major findings were that students tended to favour on-demand lessons over livestream lessons.
