This is why we need to use different tactics. Tactics that have been explicitly put forth as teaching tactics for the 21st century:  Collaboration. After each new section of work, students exchange copy books to check each other’s work. See a mistake, fix it and explain the correction to the student.  Communication. Draw for learning. This makes learning immediate, concrete and permanent. There are lots of ways to communicate. Communicating with one’s self can mean writing. When we write, we have to think about what we are writing. Sharing information with another for feedback/correction is another form of communication.  For learning to be effective in any environment, and especially in a large multi-classroom online environment, the learning must be multidimensional and interwoven through many activities. Active learning over passive learning is truly the only way for one teacher to engage 100 students at a time.  Supervisors and student teachers matter too. Student teachers at the chalkboard capture what is being taught so that students have another place to look for information.  Live action classes are highly engaging and dynamic.  With a goal to learn and become fluent in English, we must operationalize all forms of learning if we are to move beyond broken English with a rich learning experience for all.
