How we conduct online classes
Before the first day of online class
- Englist will send parents the details of when class will take place and any relevant links and information students will need.
- Students, or students’ parents, must check that everything is in working order before the first day of class begins. This includes making sure students are able to sign in, there is stable internet access, microphones and earphones are working, and that they have all of the materials they need for class ready.
During class
- Students are expected to sign in to class on time. Online classes are different in format than physical classes, but classroom rules still apply. This means students should only be speaking in English, they should not be snacking or eating meals during class, and no other distractions should be present (including chatting to other people off camera).
- During class time, students’ cameras need to be turned on the whole time except during break time. During breaktime, please make sure the student doesn’t accidentally sign out of the class.
Follow-up issues
If any technical issues arise during class, or if parents have questions after class is over, they are welcome to reach out to Englist administrative staff.

Decoding Alone Doesn’t Crack the Code – The importance of background knowledge in the ability to read.
Recently, the teachers at Englist read a research paper titled “Ending the Reading Wars: Reading Acquisition From Novice to Expert.” The authors of the paper give an interesting example of how necessary background knowledge is to reading comprehension. Using that example, I’d like to explore the complexities of reading and why the ability to read fluently doesn’t always mean the ability to comprehend completely.
