Training Preservice Language Teachers Online?

The present research was born on the arising need of training preservice English language teachers online subsequent to the COVID-19 outbreak. Teacher candidates at a state university took Teaching Practicum II online, and how they experience online language teaching and teacher training has been qualitatively explored through self-reflection reports, open-ended surveys, and semi-structured interviews. The results of this phenomenological study provide thought-provoking implications for and insights into the current practice of preservice language teacher training.
