Virtual classrooms

The virtual classroom is talked about “How Does Arabic Influence the Pronunciation of English?”  The presenter name is Peggy Tharpe, she is American English consultant trainer and teacher. She had an American pronunciation center. The virtual class was for one hour and the number of people there was from 20 to 23, which include students and 3 teachers. Peggy talked about the sound system in Arabic and English and differentiate between them. Also, she talked about how Arabic speakers face some difficulties in pronouncing English word and help them to solve this problem and find solution for it. One of these solutions is listening activities, which help the student to differentiate between the similar sounds.  

There is many advantages and disadvantages of virtual rooms. In the first I will talk about the advantages of this room, which is, accept a variety of student and make a large number of student benefit from distance learning. Moreover, its make the students chatting with each other about the subject during the class without bothering the teachers. In addition, many of the classrooms problems finished. Second, there is some disadvantages of these virtual rooms such as not all the schools have the technology but this will be change with the time. Also, some instructors feel that their jobs are under the risk and there are a lack of development of appropriate instructional and learning methods. However, as a teacher I will use these virtual classrooms because I see it more benefit for my students to understand and to discuss with each other about the topic of the lesson. In addition, all the students in this generation are digital natives and using such a method in teaching will make them interest about the subject.
