Abstract

Background and Purpose: Early 21st century saw great changes in all fields of life due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Education worldwide has to suffer from many difficulties when schools are forced to close down for safety. In Vietnam, online teaching has been applied in most of cities and provinces where COVID-19 pandemic has been serious. The implementation of remote teaching in a large quantity of schools was first seen in 2021. However, not many studies have been found on massive immediate online teaching. Due to the fact that a thorough understanding of online teaching in English language teaching is necessary for better online teaching to be delivered in the near future, this study aims to investigate English teachers’ attitudes towards online teaching and their challenges. Methodology: This study was designed as a qualitative case study. Nine English teachers from the primary schools and high schools were invited to participate in the semi-interviews. The research instrument used was the in-depth interviews, in which the questions were adapted from the previous studies. Data were generated using codes and analysed in themes. Findings: The findings revealed that COVID-19 is the main factor forcing English teachers to equip themselves with knowledge and skills for online teaching. It was found that English teachers in Vietnam were reluctant to conduct remote language teaching due to the lack of knowledge and skills of integrating technology in education, facilities, teaching condition, and parents’ interference. Contributions: The study concludes that English teachers in Vietnam experience hardship with the remote teaching and their challenges. With such understanding, it is suggested that instant support for teachers and continuous training should be provided to reduce the hardship and improve teachers’ skills in conducting online teaching. Keywords: English teaching, online teaching, teachers’ attitude, teacher training, educational technology. Cite as: Vo, T. K. A. (2022).

英语教师面对即时在线教学的态度与挑战:以越南为例

背景与目的:21世纪初，由于新冠肺炎大流行，人们生活的各个领域都发生了巨大变化。当学校为了安全而被迫关闭时，世界各地的教育不得不遭受许多困难。在越南，新冠肺炎疫情严重的大部分城市和省份都应用了在线教学。2021年，大量学校首次实施了远程教学。然而，关于大规模即时在线教学的研究并不多。为了在不久的将来更好地进行在线教学，需要深入了解英语语言教学中的在线教学，因此本研究旨在调查英语教师对在线教学的态度及其面临的挑战。方法:本研究设计为定性个案研究。邀请了9位中小学英语教师参加半访谈。使用的研究工具是深度访谈，其中的问题改编自以往的研究。使用代码生成数据并按主题进行分析。调查结果显示，新冠肺炎是迫使英语教师掌握在线教学知识和技能的主要因素。调查发现，越南英语教师不愿意进行远程语言教学，主要原因是缺乏将技术融入教育的知识和技能、设施、教学条件以及家长的干扰。贡献:本研究总结了越南英语教师在远程教学中遇到的困难和面临的挑战。有了这样的认识，建议为教师提供即时支持和持续培训，以减少教师进行在线教学的困难，提高教师的技能。关键词:英语教学，网络教学，教师态度，教师培训，教育技术引用如下:Vo, t.k.a.(2022)。英语教师面对即时在线教学的态度与挑战:以越南为例自然科学学报，7(2)，495-511。http://dx.doi.org/10.24200/jonus.vol7iss2pp495-511
