Abstract

In this best practice paper, pandemic-induced challenges informed innovative teaching strategies developed by a high school teacher of English as a second language at a private school in northeast United States whose international students Zoomed into class from their home countries. Representing seven different countries in three different continents over six different time zones, the students were not able to convene online at the same time, hampering the goal of interacting with each other to gain confidence in using English socially and academically. Employing a variety of technological platforms, this teacher redesigned the programme to allow student-to-student and student-to-teacher access and ultimately resulted in building a community that reached beyond the classroom.
