大学の英語オンライン授業と対面授業における学生の意識および学習面への効果について

The purpose of this study is to review the results of the awareness survey, regarding online English classes and traditional face-to-face classes conducted in the first semester of the 2021 academic year at Wakayama University. The paper also shows the comparison of the results of the term-end exams of 2021 and 2019, which was conducted face-to-face. The survey revealed that more than half of the students wanted to have a combination of online and face-to-face classes, whereas about thirty percent of students wanted all face-to-face lessons. The comparison of exams shows the combined classes in 2021 had higher scores than the face-to-face classes in 2019. Advantages and disadvantages of online classes as well as face-to-face classes are also presented. Some suggestions for more efficient English education in general are added for the future development of English teaching systems at universities.
