Abstract

This article presents some tips which proved to be effective in my online teaching practice. Connection, enthusiasm and a good rapport with the students are the key starting points for successful online lessons. Beside these, we should match activities and tools to our students` age, level, learning abilities, learning difficulties. We should use songs, videos, short stories and worksheets for making our online lessons memorable and effective. We should also make the online lesson seem similar to the face-to-face lesson. It is very important to use active learning strategies: project-based learning, cooperative learning, mastery learning, inquiry-based learning, flipped learning. All the mentioned tips can make a real difference between an effective lesson and a simple lesson.
