1. Virtual classroom in the teaching
and learning of ESL/EFL
This is a very important tool that is
becoming in a way a common
resource that institutions around
the world are implementing
nowadays, such as universities,
academies, etc. Many institutions
use it as their platform to conduct
fully online courses

2. Virtual classroom has become very popular among
educators as well around the world as a tool for
creating online dynamic web sites for their
students. To work with a virtual classroom all it
needs is to be installed on a web server
somewhere, either on one of your own computers
or one at a web hosting company.

3. If I’m not mistaken I’m aware that our university it is
using this toll as well to teach some of the subjects
for some of the majors! I have a friend that is
studying engineering I’m not really sure which one
but he old me about taking classes online, I think
they are called “clases a distancia”, he explained me
that the teacher just upload all the information about
the subject, then they studied by themselves but
they have some chatting or videoconferences with
the teacher to discuss about the topic, they have
schedule to do this, and also they keep in touch via
E-mail.
At the end of the course they have an
exam to get the final grade, besides all
the homework that is required as well!

4. I was reading about this tool and from my point of
view all that I see is just advantages using Virtual
classroom in teaching ESL/EFL
•Options and choices: students who are visual can
post images and videos
•Tech-usage would be encouraged: students often
either have very few web skills or don’t use them
much for learning, so this might help them
practice.
•More work for students, less for teachers: their
learning should result from their own practice of
skills and reflection on material
•Themes would be introduced earlier: the gradual
approach teachers have been using of starting
with facts, then moving slowly into interpretation
and themes

5. Also I could say that surfing in the Internet we
can find several services, tools, materials,
videos, readings, games that we can use to
teach ESL/EFL and reach learning process in
our students and all we have to do is upload
information, share links, post materials etc.
