Abstract

The modern world thrives on communication. Opportunities for personal growth, success in study, and career development can all be achieved with strong language skills. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is the main key to success. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, so do the risks is faced. Never expected COVID-19 pandemic would have a severe impact on education, as schools and universities closed their premises in response to lockdown measures not only in India but the whole world. Covid-19 Pandemic has made all the educational schools across the world adapt teaching online. Faculties had to change their mundane teaching methods and adapt to evolving technology-centered teaching. During the pandemic, two factors have shifted mainly. First, pedagogical adaptations have proven to be pivotal as the traditional teaching in-person does not translate to a remote learning environment. Second, the pandemic they had to modify their time between teaching, engaging with students, and also the administrative tasks. The present study is all about conducting virtual English online classes through drama-based method in zoom app. The whole set can be created through zoom class. Through this the students can be bifurcated and allowed to move in the break-up rooms they want to opt for or with peer group they are comfortable with. The fear of being laughed at is always there and here the teacher must be the go-between and help the weaker student. With this, the students will improve their pronunciation, accent, stress, and intonation as they are exposed to criticism in a healthy manner from peers in no stressful atmosphere.

Zoom app is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing simultaneously maintaining the protocol of the pandemic. It has become quite popular after the Covid-19 lockdown.
