Abstract

Thanks to COVID-19, renovations have been witnessed in English classes in Chinese public schools because all the off-line classes were forced to be transferred online. However, teaching distantly was a new attempt for most teachers in traditional schools, especially in developing cities. Thus, I have doubts about the learning outcomes of the ‘national distant class’. Moreover, this research also explores what challenges and adaptions teachers had made to achieve their tentative teaching objectives. This research was conducted in public high schools in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Six English teachers shared their experience of teaching remotely. The result shows that students’ learning outcomes are not ideal. This article reveals the factors that contribute to students’ underperformance in distant learning from both teachers’ and students’ perspectives. The thesis ends up with some suggestions which inspire English teachers working in the frontline to enhance their online teaching quality under the Chinese educational context.
