HOW CAN A CLASS WEBSITE BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT TEACHING? A CASE STUDY OF ADVANCED LEVEL TECHNICAL COLLEGE LEARNERS IN OMAN

Abstract

This study examines how a class website can supplement the syllabus in an English language college level class in Oman. Having collected data from teachers’ about areas of the syllabus that were not being covered in class, a website was set up with the intention of providing a second classroom for students. The findings of this study include the better augmentation of the syllabus by specific use of computer-assisted language learning, an increase in learner motivation due to this and the creation of a means through which the learners can interact with the target language outside of class time.
