Abstract

The health crisis due to the pandemic has greatly changed many aspects of our lives including the way we teach foreign languages. Online teaching has prevailed over the face-to-face one, and educators and learners alike had to adjust to this major shift. This article is meant to provide some of our findings based on our experience while teaching speaking on Moodle online platform. The first part discusses the benefits and the drawbacks of the online environment, then it presents some of the most important aspects of speaking, and in the end, it focuses on the challenges of online teaching while trying to enhance students’ speaking skills. Speaking is one of the most desirable skills because it enables students to communicate effectively, and teaching this ability online has been challenging but also rewarding.
