Abstract

This paper investigates the attitude of teachers and students towards the teaching and learning of grammar for online classes. The current study aims to identify the difficulties that the students face when learning grammar through online sessions. The paper also gives an insight from teachers’ perspectives who had conducted grammar classes online. For this, 20 male and female teachers and 80 female undergraduate students of a public university in Saudi Arabia were chosen as participants to carry out the study. To find out the benefits of this shift from face-to-face classes to online classes, the instruments used were questionnaires distributed to the teachers and students who experienced online sessions for almost two semesters. Based on the findings of the results of the study, the paper concludes and gives some recommendations on how both teachers and students can cope with the challenges faced during online classes while teaching and learning grammar.

Abstract

The current paper mainly focuses on three objectives: introduces the concept of storyboard teaching, highlights its usefulness in higher education as a variant in online and offline courses or as an adapting teaching materials tool according to the learners’ needs and context of learning, and then recommends its use in the classroom especially in language and literature, mixed with other innovative teaching techniques. Moreover, the current paper focuses on how storyboarding provides platforms for the students to be active, creative, and critical thinkers and learning is not limited to only remembering while they analyze their works, reflect, and progress. The researchers have highly recommended incorporating the storyboarding technique in the higher education classrooms and fusing it with other innovative techniques to make a classroom interesting, engaging and interactive. Adding the storyboarding approach, students get motivation, feel confident and competent after the completion of mapping out their ideas visually, cognitively and creatively.
