1. When giving independent assignments to perform online what should the teacher do? Give detailed instructions on the implementation of each specific task. Give general instructions on the implementation of typical task. Provide students with the freedom to determine how to complete the assignment.
2. Which approach to assessing student self-video /audio monologues/ dialogues do you prefer? The teacher should take into consideration mistakes of any nature. The teacher should take into consideration only major mistakes. The teacher should evaluate the content only without considering any mistakes made.
3. Which model of mastering listening comprehension of foreign texts seems optimal for you (for example, using YouTube video hosting platform)? Students receive a link, watch a video and perform test tasks on the content of it and are given a mark. Students receive a link, watch a video and perform test tasks on the content of it in the “done - not done” mode. Students receive a link, watch a video and give a comment “I liked it - I didn’t like it”.
4. What model of online reading instruction (for example, using the Readworks.org) seems optimal for you? Using the resource all the students receive the same text, read it, complete assignments for assessment. Using the resource students select a text on the given topic in accordance with their level of language proficiency, read it, perform assignments for assessment. Using the resource students themselves choose any text, read it, complete tasks in the “done - not done” mode.
5. What model of mutual assessment of written works (for example, an essay) seems optimal to you? Students send files with their works to their classmates (these are able students appointed by the teacher) who check the essays in accordance with clear assessment criteria. Each student checks two works of his classmates and evaluates them (thus, each student’s essay is checked twice), the teacher puts the arithmetic average of two marks in the register. Students exchange works with each other at will, give each other grades for an essay at their discretion and inform their teacher.
