Abstract

Modern technologies have popularized online media-based instruction, especially during the pandemic, with live classes praised for their temporal and spatial flexibility. Despite this, traditional offline classes remain dominant. This study examines the differences in learning motivation, experiences, and teaching quality between live and offline classes through the course "English and American Literature" for 105 junior English majors at a public university in Sichuan Province, aiming to provide empirical insights and teaching strategies to enhance English language instruction and cultural understanding.
