| Popis: | The subject of this paper is the benefits and drawbacks of the online delivery of classes and the comparison of online and traditional forms of teaching and learning. As a result of the pandemic in the academic year of 2019/2020, educational institutions were forced to switch from traditional teaching to an online environment almost overnight. The purpose of this research is to identify advantages and problems as perceived by the students, with the aim of gaining a deeper insight into different aspects of online language teaching and learning and improving the quality of online lessons. Besides providing the theoretical background and a historical review of distance learning, the paper also presents the results of research conducted with the students of the Faculty of Law at the University of Belgrade and offers insights into students’ experience of the online learning environment and their attitudes toward traditional and online classes. The analysis of the answers shows that the online delivery of classes did not influence the acquisition of linguistic components such as vocabulary, grammar or speaking skills. They also show a positive influence on students’ learning autonomy, self-confidence and motivation. Although the number of respondents includes only a small group of students, the analysis of the answers shows, in any case, certain important aspects related to the students’ attitudes towards the nature of online lectures. They point out the importance of the social aspect of education that has to be taken into consideration. |
