Abstract

This paper aims to examine the sustainability of online teaching using the ZOOM application. The research is exclusively related to the course entitled Mother Tongue Spelling at the university level. Its main goal is to analyze the perceptions of surveyed students of Montenegrin philology faculties about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of teaching and their attitude towards traditional, online or blended models of teaching. This paper will examine the opinion of students regarding the application of dialogic, monologic, textual and blended communication methods. Descriptive statistics and the decision tree model were used in processing the survey data. The research showed that students see the availability of lecture recordings and attending lectures regardless of their current location as the biggest advantages of online spelling classes, while the most significant limitations point to technical problems and lack of social interaction. The results also showed that the students prefer the application of the blended method, while the monological method was rated the lowest. The key contribution of this paper is its focus on online learning of the students’ mother tongue, not a foreign language.
