ÜNİVERSİTELERDE DİL ÖĞRENME / ÖĞRETİMİNDE ÇEVRİMİÇİ EĞİTİM: COVID-19 VE DİJİTAL DÖNÜŞÜM

Covid -19 salgını hiç şüphesiz daha yüksek öğrenim kurumlarında dil öğreniminde ve öğretiminde dijital dönüşümün gerçekleştirilme şeklini değiştirdi ve hızlı bir şekilde bu alana geçilmesine yönlendirdi. Yabancı dil öğreniminde ve öğretiminde dijital dönüşümün etkisini göstermek ve dijital uygulamanın öğrenciler üzerindeki etkisini ortaya çıkarmak için ihtiyaç duyulan önemli verileri toplamak için öğrencilere ve öğretmenlere gönüllük esasına dayalı araştırma soruları yöneltildi. Katılımcılar, Gagavuzya'daki Komrat Üniversitesi İngilizce bölümünde 103 öğrenci ve 35 öğretim görevlisiydi. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, katılımcıların%42'si çevrimiçi platformun sınavlar sırasında kusursuz olduğuna inanıyordu. Öte yandan, %71,7'si çevrimiçi platformun daha interaktif veya daha kullanışlı olduğuna inanmadığını belirtti. Bu sonuçlar, dijital platformda öğretime dahil olan yüksek öğretim kurumlarının, öğrencileri etkileşimli ve profesyonel bir şekilde meşgul etmelerini sağlamak için ek becerilere ihtiyaç duyduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

ONLINE EDUCATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING/TEACHING IN UNIVERSITIES: THE COVID-19 AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

The Covid -19 pandemic has no doubt changed and fast-tracked the way digital transformation in language learning and teaching is being conducted in higher institutions of learning. Research questions were asked to students and teachers on a voluntary basis to collect substantial data needed to illustrate the influence of digital transformation in foreign language learning and teaching and reveal the effect of digital practice on students. The participants were 103 students and 35 lecturers at the English department at the Komrat University in Gagavuzia. The instrument used for data collection was survey questions. According to the results obtained, 42% of the participants believed that the online platform was foolproof during exams. On the other hand, 71,7% stated that they did not believe that the online platform was more interactive or convenient. These results reveal that higher education institutions involved in teaching on the digital platform need additional skills to ensure they engage students interactively and professionally.
