Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the advantages and existing problems of distance education in English. This article is based on the problem that students and teachers are unable to take offline courses during the COVID-19 pandemic, and focuses on the impact of distance education in English. According to statistics released by UNESCO, more than 290 million students around the world have had their schooling disrupted by school closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. China, a country with a population of 48 million university students [1], also started the era of distance courses after the sudden outbreak of the virus, in order to cope with the problem that students and teachers cannot return to school for traditional face-to-face courses. How to improve the efficiency of Distance learning in English during the pandemic is a pressing issue, as English education is essential for Chinese students. In fact, improving the efficiency of Online English education needs to be promoted by students, teachers and policies. We need to be aware of the limitations and weaknesses of distance education participants and implementers. This article gives some practical solutions to improve the efficiency of Distance learning.
