Live Streaming Teaching Applied in Real English Classroom

Distance education technology has been broadly applied in various subjects. It also leads to more revolution to teaching models, such as MOOC, flipped classroom, and live streaming teaching. To evaluate the efficacy of live streaming teaching compared to real class teaching, we investigate its application in two phrases—voice streaming and camera streaming. The study implements these two phrases facilitated by an e-community group to achieve class management. Under the guideline of positivism, this study developed a survey to examine live streaming teaching in respect of its conduct, learner acceptance, and teaching efficiency. It was found that it could assist learning in timing and location flexibility, interaction quality, and material variety, offering insights on open learning. Based on these, we conclude that there is fundamental need for further exploration with this new teaching method to advance the science of learning.
