Abstract
With the global coronavirus pandemic, educational institutions worldwide were forced to migrate to fully online instruction. This radical shift came with significant challenges for English Language Teachers (ELT) around the world. Emergency Remote Language Teaching (ERLT) had provided diverse practice on conducting online language teaching during pandemics. This paper examines the unforeseen and radical shifts of ERLT, which cover the main difference between Online Language Teaching (OLT) and ERLT, conceptual framework to develop relevant and engaging ERLT, and students' engagement during ERLT. The processes and procedures ELT devised to support their students' English language, and literacy development are reviewed through several studies conducted from different parts of the world. Such conceptual shifts entail, and the various ways ELT responded to the challenges posed are discussed and illustrated. Key lessons learned from the analysis are detailed in this paper and recommendations for teaching English at a distance.
