A brief article published in THE Journal, Distance Learning Feature, summarized from a talk/presentation given at CUE (Computer-Using Educators) and ESS (eLearning Strategies Symposium) conferences in 2013.
Any article focusing on online learning, in whatever field, necessarily starts with a consideration of terminology. ‘E-learning’, ‘blended learning’, ‘hybrid’ or ‘mixed’ learning, ‘web-enhanced learning’, ‘distance learning’ are all terms used, often interchangeably, to refer to the phenomenon of learning online (see Whittaker 2013: 11-12 for a review of these terms). Such a profusion of terminology can lead to a certain amount of imprecision and overlap in their use. In this article, I distinguish between blended learning (that is, language learning that includes both face-to-face and online learning experiences), and fully online learning (that is, language learning that takes place 100% online); it is the latter that is explored here. ‘Online learning’ will be used to refer to language learning that takes place fully online via the Internet, with no face-to-face component, within the context of both formal language courses and more informal learning scenarios. This fully online approach throws up unique challenges, many of which inform associated research agendas.

Effectiveness of Online Language Learning2015 •
Distance language learning is a real challenge to both teachers and learners, since the students’ exposure to the target language in a distance learning system is not as authentic and interactive as required. Additionally, it also entails a significant reduction in the amount of students’ interaction and in the support from both the teacher and other learners, which has a negative impact on students’ levels of motivation and achievement. In the hope of enhancing the distance teaching-learning process of a language and compensating for the previously mentioned drawbacks, a number of technological tools are currently being implemented. However, these technologies have also brought about new challenges that need to be addressed by policy makers, materials developers, teachers and students, if they are to be successfully implemented.
Online Language Teaching in Diverse Contexts
Online Language Teaching in Diverse Contexts2022 •
This book brings together a variety of perspectives and interventions related to online and remote language teaching. Aimed at scholars and language teachers, as well as students of language pedagogy, these perspectives are drawn from diverse teaching contexts, although the findings they share can be applied across different levels and target languages. This volume also includes reflection on implementing these ideas during and after the remote learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This volume will be especially valuable in the coming years, as educators and researchers work to understand the experiences of teachers and learners during the pandemic, and as the remote teaching precipitated by recent events increases interest in online learning. As online language course offerings continue to grow and develop, this volume will be a rich resource for researchers, instructors, and students interested in better understanding the diverse practices and methods that can be employed in online language teaching.

Distance Language Learning as School Learners Perceive It2022 •
With the proliferation of online courses nowadays, it is necessary to ask what defines the success of teaching and learning in these new learning environments exactly. This paper identifies and critically discusses a number of factors for successful implementation of online delivery, particularly as far as online language learning is concerned. These include student and teacher characteristics, instructional design, provision of support to instructors and students, technology, and language skills characteristics. I argue that these factors need to be carefully considered when designing online language learning simply because they could potentially impinge on students’ learning and learning experience in these new learning environments.
