A Survey on Chinese Students' Online English Language Learning Experience through Synchronous Web Conferencing Classrooms.
The online education industry has had a rapid economic development in China since 2013, but this area received little attention in research. This study investigates Chinese undergraduate students' online English learning experiences and online teacher learner interaction in synchronous web conferencing classes. This article reports the findings from a pilot questionnaire survey in December 2015. It is found that synchronous online English classes are often oversized (more than 50 students) However, students report a high level of online teacher learner interaction. Further investigation is necessary to reveal what actual online learning and teaching activities are going on in synchronous web conferencing English classrooms in China.
