Course Description
This course mainly focuses on discussing the Learning Management System (LMS) which is used in the learning and teaching of English and how it is implemented in the classroom. It discusses the key concepts of computer-mediated communication and language learning (CMCL), explores the features of existing LMS, reviews LMS strengths and weaknesses, and finds evidence from research articles related to the effectiveness of LMS use in ELT classes. At the end of the semester, students are expected to be familiar with LMS features and able to utilize LMS to teach English effectively. The teaching and activities of this course are conducted both online and in classical (in-person) modes through lectures and discussions, collaborative group work and projects, and presentation/demonstration of the teaching of English using an LMS.
