Distance learning of ELT for Chinese students in ICUTK: digital literacy practices

Abstract

English Language Teaching (ELT) is part of a teaching and learning activity focused on English development. The ELT’s distance learning enactment is used for English communication. These activities may be linked to digital literacy practices, particularly for Chinese students as non-native speakers, in stimulating English as regular communication in spoken and written centered on communication. From distance learning, some Chinese ICUTK students have contributed a lot to using English to teach and practice contact at any time. Running digital literacy practices as an ELT approach and strategy will help improve English skills in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, especially by enacting distance learning from China Mainland to Thailand. The purpose of this research is to know how well students can learn ELT. It describes how essential social media platforms are in delivering ELT lessons for distance learning countries between Thailand and the People’s Republic of China and how Chinese students practice digital literacy through media apps synchronously and asynchronously. This study uses a qualitative approach focused on classroom learning. Simultaneously, researchers learn how useful ELT activity for Chinese students through asynchronous and synchronous methods such as WeChat apps and Ding Talks apps. These online platforms demonstrate how effective distance learning for Chinese students in the ELT is and how useful a forum is to help teach and learn in English.
