ABSTRACT

This chapter describes teaching the AE module online at the Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Online teaching experiences in AE are examined with the help of the Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The examination of online teaching revealed that AE lecturers used evidence-based practices of genre, discourse, and linguistic instruction. Nevertheless, teaching with technology led to shifting instruction from communicative teaching to teacher-centred approaches in AE. This reflection suggests that AE lecturers at WIUT are novices in their technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge of teaching AE online. Recommendations on AE teacher professional development, techno-pedagogical methods, and student support are discussed.
