“…Edifying communicative possibilities, in turn, are possible when a respectful, supportive, and inclusive classroom climate is created and students are empowered to resort to their own historical, intellectual, social, cultural and emotional-semiotic-resources to act in pursuit of their own learning (Escobar-Almégica, 2020;Fairclough, 2011;Gee, 2011;Kress, 2011). While classroom interaction has been extensively researched in EFL educational contexts (Asbah, 2015;Gardner, 2019;Zhang & Gao, 2020), how these interactions happened in the particular public health emergency where instruction was technology-mediated is still a research opportunity that could potentially contribute to the evolution of virtual education in general and virtual EFL instruction in particular.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about new challenges for class interaction and for English as a Foreign Language teaching instruction in general, and opened a whole world of opportunities to learn about virtual-mediated instruction and about learning altogether. As a reaction to the new social conditions, alternative spaces, and ways of mediating instruction through the use of technology and digital resources were created and promoted in the quest for teaching and learning. As such, this multimodal interaction analysis inquired into the qualities of interaction taking place in an online course of advanced English at a teaching credential undergraduate program at a private university in Bogotá, and the affordances and limitations that such interactions presented for agency, engagement, and ultimately, learning as an effect of communication. To such an end, class observations, student focus groups, and interviews on teachers were conducted. The findings offered insights on the multiple ways students and the teacher resorted to their semiotic resources and communicative modes to configure meaning, construct knowledge, and relate to one another in a virtual environment. Mainly, however, it encourages a debate about the role that teachers play in designing and implementing communicative environments to enrich the teaching and learning experience.

Background and Aim: For coordination and singing abilities, students should practice with children's books, connect sight and feel to piano pitches, use simple accompaniments, and receive feedback. This article explores the role of singing in piano teaching, discussing strategies for improvement, textbook selection, classroom fun, parent communication, sight singing, ear training, and enriching children's music lives. Methodology: This paper is a documentary study that combines descriptive content analysis with goals-oriented thinking. Results: The issues with pitch, coordination, song familiarity, and self-assurance. Solutions include helping students with basic vocalizations, focusing on correct breathing techniques, using children's piano books, and providing motivation and constructive criticism. Sustained instruction and practice can improve coordination and vocal capabilities. Pedagogical approaches should be refined, and tailored to students' age, gender, and individuality, and teachers should enhance their expertise and establish clear teaching objectives. Time allocation and textbook selection should be based on the course schedule, and novel pedagogical approaches like role exchange can enhance student engagement. Consistent communication with parents is crucial for children's piano skills development. Sight singing and ear training can develop children's ability to perceive and use music. Conclusion: The document review addresses issues with the role of singing in piano teaching, focusing on pitch, coordination, song familiarity, and self-assurance. Solutions include basic vocalizations, breathing techniques, using children's books, motivation, and teacher training.
