This article covers the problem of teaching English at higher schools by means of e-platforms under conditions
of quarantine. Schools and universities across the globe have already closed in the wake of the coronavirus
pandemic. As a result, teachers are suddenly faced with the challenge of how to continue their students’
education. While this might seem a daunting task, there are several ways teachers can utilize the technology
and resources already available to support online learning and ensure students still receive a quality education.
It’s important to note that there is no one size which fits all when it comes to learning. Different groups
have different priorities and the resources that should be used are context-dependent. However, teachers
should take some comfort in the fact that there are hundreds of online resources to guide them as to how
to teach online. Designing effective distance learning programs requires planning and targeted professional
development. Teachers who did not expect to teach online were caught understandably unprepared in the final
leg of the academic year.
The present article focuses on such e-platforms as Moodle, which has been used at our universities since
2008 and has a great importance in teaching English at an appropriate level, Zoom and Skype, which are
currently being used in order to provide interaction and communicative activities representative of specific
professional or academic environments. The convenience of learning from a distance from the comfort of one’s
home or from any location where one happens to be and having access to teachers and native speakers
around the world are some reasons for the popularity of these online resources for language learning. Other
reasons might be the mostly free service, availability for major computer platforms, the reliability of the service,
the relatively good quality of audio and video if used with a broadband connection, and also its ease of use.
Moodle provides a collaborative medium, a place where we can all meet and read and write. Zoom allows you
to connect with students using an interactive video conference platform. Skype also allows screen sharing,
which means that the teacher or students can show Word documents, slide presentations, or websites on their
screen to the other participants in a Skype session or explain something.
