Abstract
The method of multidimensional interaction in online teaching and learning requires teachers to harness the techniques of omnimedia and have an overall course design to achieve similar results as offline learning. Supported by QQ, Lanmo Cloud Class, and WeChat platforms, online English courses implement multidimensional interaction method to enhance language communication. This method compensates for the inefficacy of online teaching and learning which falls short of face-to-face interaction and considers the needs of students. The quasiexperimental study sampled 66 freshmen English major students in an ordinary college via Integrated English Online Course for three months. By using T-test of SPSS 26.0, statistics showed that there were significant differences between the experimental class (Number 35) and the control class (Number 31) in students’ feedback (p=0.044,<0.05) and the results of their final examinations (p=0.049,<0.05). The results indicated that multidimensional interaction in online English course under the assistance of omnimedia appeared effective. It also reflected that both teachers and students should grasp the skills of using new technology and make good use of omnimedia network platform. Teachers need to change traditional teaching concept to student-centered and create effective teaching design while students need to overcome the discomfort and actively engage in online learning to achieve the goals.
Highlights
It has allowed for the change from teachercentered to student-centered methods, bringing studentcentered instruction into practice
Despite the variety of research focused on online teaching and learning in recent years [9, 10], with some spotlight on online interaction strategies [11], there are only a small number of studies on the topic of implementing online teaching with effective interaction
There has been a lack of attention on the relationship between high quality online teaching at local colleges and the technologies that support the teacherstudent interactions
Summary
It has allowed for the change from teachercentered to student-centered methods, bringing studentcentered instruction into practice. To achieve student-centered online learning results, we use multidimensional interaction strategies with the assistance of omnimedia in designing the course. Other scholars believe that implementation of multidimensional online teaching or hybrid of online and offline teaching needs teachers to analyze many factors such as students, course contents, students’ learning strategies, and learning environment until we reach the ideal result [10]. In order to realize online teaching and learning under the assistance of omnimedia and achieve similar results as offline learning, teachers need to be familiar with the different online platforms, and be well-versed about how to design their online course and pay attention to their students’ feedback and feelings. Letters, characters, sounds, and images, etc., teachers and students can exchange information attentively and even avoid some other irrelevant distractions to realize a state of highly focused teaching
