Video Conferencing Disclaimer

English for Asia places the utmost care in protecting the privacy and security of students participating in online lessons. We use fully licensed video conferencing technology. Each lesson we hold online is Host activated from a registered English for Asia account, and only students that are registered on each respective course are permitted to join our online classes. Furthermore, we closely monitor student attendance in all classes (online or in person) to ensure the safety and academic integrity of our Online Learning through a Host. The assigned Host will restrict entry to unregistered students and may remove a participant who is unauthorized to enter the online classroom.

1. Which online platform are you using for the lessons and how can I get started?

We use the live conferencing platform Zoom. It is completely free to set-up an account and easy to navigate. Please visit https://macauenglish.com/online-learning#3 which provides tips to get you started.

2. Are online lessons as engaging as in-person lessons?

Yes, students have the same access to their teacher, it is just in a virtual space rather than a physical classroom. The use of multi-media, zoom and online tools enable learners to fully immerse themselves in the learning experience.

3. Are the online lessons suitable for Kindergarten students? How will my child be able to focus?

All lesson content is shown on the screen and many visuals, questions and interactive games are used to engage your child. In addition, tasks are built around songs, story videos and TPR (Total Physical Response) activities to keep our youngest learners moving, active and motivated throughout.

To help students focus, we typically schedule two short breaks in a 60-minute lesson, encourage students to do stretches, drink water and go to the toilet, and find something to keep them focussed. Still unsure? Watch the video of our Online ENGLISH CLUB to decide for yourself.

4. What should I do if my child does not know how to use some of the Zoom tools?

One of our main aims with online lessons is to train students to use the different Zoom tools to enable them to have an engaging and interactive learning experience. For our teachers to be able do so, it is vital that you have a Zoom account and regularly run updates to ensure you have access to the latest features of Zoom. Should you need any technical support during a lesson, you can call us on our hotline at 6612 8030.
