Exploring teaching strategies of oral communication skills teachers in hybrid learning environment

This study explored the teaching strategies used by Oral Communication skills teachers in the hybrid learning environment. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to investigate the benefits and challenges of this modality. Key findings revealed that hybrid learning fostered collaborative and interactive speaking activities, technology-enhanced learning, creative and contextual tasks, real-world communication practice, and enhanced student engagement and motivation. Teachers adapted strategies for asynchronous settings, utilizing technology-driven communication tools and real-world, personalized tasks to promote student motivation, autonomy, reflective learning, and effective assessment and feedback. The study concludes that hybrid learning offers a flexible and dynamic educational environment, but its success depends on strategic implementation and continuous adaptation to address the diverse needs of students and teachers.
